I believe in combination with `OP_LEFT` and `OP_CAT` this allows Turing-complete smart contracts, in much the same way as `OP_CHECKSIGFROMSTACK`?
Pass in the spent transaction (serialised for txid) and the spending transaction (serialised for sighash) as part of the witness of the spending transaction.
Script verifies that the spending transaction witness value is indeed the spending transaction by `OP_SHA256 <SIGHASH_ALL> OP_SWAP OP_CAT OP_CHECKTXDIGESTVERIFY`.
Script verifies the spent transaction witness value is indeed the spent transaction by hashing it, then splitting up the hash with `OP_LEFT` into bytes, and comparing the bytes to the bytes in the input of the spending transaction witness value (txid being the bytes in reversed order).
Then the Script can extract a commitment of itself by extracting the output of the spent transaction.
This lets the Script check that the spending transaction also pays to the same script.
The Script can then access a state value, for example from an `OP_RETURN` output of the spent transaction, and enforce that a correct next-state is used in the spending transaction.
If the state is too large to fit in a standard `OP_RETURN`, then the current state can be passed in as a witness and validated against a hash commitment in an `OP_RETURN` output.
I believe this is the primary reason against not pulling data from the stack.
Regards,
