-where the BIP43 <code>purpose'</code> path is separate for each script (P2PKH, P2WPKH-in-P2SH, and P2WPKH respectively).  However, these per-script derivations are made redundant with descriptors, which describe a collection of output scripts.  Note also that these are single sig derivations (which shouldn't be reused for multisig).
