"""
Return the sync committee for a given ``state`` and ``epoch``.
``SyncCommittee`` contains an aggregate pubkey that enables
resource-constrained clients to save some computation when verifying
the sync committee's signature.
``SyncCommittee`` can also contain duplicate pubkeys, when ``get_sync_committee_indices``
returns duplicate indices. Implementations must take care when handling
optimizations relating to aggregation and verification in the presence of duplicates.
