Hi,  
I am confused about the delegation pattern which is explained [here](https://docs.daml.com/daml/patterns/delegation.html).

Maybe I misunderstand it since there is no code to describe the `TransferProposal` contract.  
Where is the code for the TransferProposal which is mentioned in the docs? I searched for it in the entire site.

[Here is TransferProposal.](https://github.com/digital-asset/daml/blob/cf7c2b5cbf59dffcf61c93c502bf40e5a40bf6c0/docs/source/daml/patterns/daml/CoinIssuance.daml#L135-L156) Note that this file contains not just the example for delegation pattern, but for several of the other pattern pages, and [TransferProposal is discussed a bit more](https://docs.daml.com/2.4.0/daml/patterns/authorization.html).
