.. and Bertrand Meyer will be the first to acknownledge such.

I think the following beta-release `Eiffel Liberty Journal' (elj)
article by Bertrand Meyer, titled:

 `Eiffel's Design by Contract: Predecessors and Original Contributions'

 http://www.progsoc.uts.edu.au/~geldridg/eiffel/liberty/v1/n1/bm/bmdbc.html

might shed some more light on your comments.

Hope this helps.
