Let's say you want to know when a lightning channel has been funded or some other event occurs. Right now the best way to do this is to create a temporary wallet with one of a descriptor of one of the outputs in the funding transaction and then calling .sync until it appears in wallet.list_transactions().

There should be a lightweight interface that doesn't require choosing a database or a descriptor etc. The user should only have to pass in a Blockchain or some similar trait. It would be nice if they can get a future that will be resolved when the expected transaction has a certain number of confirmations etc.
