Feature Request: Configurable transaction fees #194

It would be great to be able to choose to impose a fee on specific transaction types. Some communities would benefit from charging users a small fee for commenting, as a simple mechanism for mitigating spam, for example. I know this could be handled off-chain by apps, but being on-chain would make app design simpler and reduce unnecessary resource utilisation.

I guess something that would complicate this is the permissions system. It wouldn't be so clear whether posting permission would be sufficient to comment if there was an associated fee.
