   The Larch Project develops aids for formal specifications.
   Each Larch specification has two components: an interface
   containing predicates written in the LIL (Larch Interface
   Language) designed for the target language and a 'trait'
   containing assertions about the predicates written in LSL,
   the Larch Shared Language common to all.
