     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.
