EIP-8053: Milli-gas Counter for High-precision Gas Metering

Discussion topic for EIP-8053; PR

Abstract

This proposal introduces the milli-gas counter as the EVM’s internal gas accounting. Gas costs are defined in milli_gas and internal EVM gas accounting is entirely carried out in milli_gas. At the end of transaction execution,milli_gas is rounded up to gas. Gas limits and transaction fees are still computed and verified using the current gas_used counter. This new counter enables a more precise accounting of cheap compute without impacting UX.
