     * Just like in the `eosio.system` sample contract implementation, there are a few actions which are not implemented at the contract level (`newaccount`, `updateauth`, `deleteauth`, `linkauth`, `unlinkauth`, `canceldelay`, `onerror`, `setabi`, `setcode`), they are just declared in the contract so they will show in the contract's ABI and users will be able to push those actions to the chain via the account holding the `eosio.system` contract, but the implementation is at the EOSIO core level. They are referred to as EOSIO native actions.
