+`localofferid` is used by offers to link a payment attempt to a local
+`send_invoice` offer created by lightningd-offerout(7).  This ensures
+that we only make a single payment for an offer, and that the offer is
+marked `used` once paid.

 The response will occur when the payment fails or succeeds. Once a
 payment has succeeded, calls to **pay** with the same *bolt11* will
 succeed immediately.
