(it must be) Sorry for being a bit out of topic, I would like to ask you a question, = as = it seems you know about the sate of the art. Please, do you know if ther= e = are accessible documents about balancing intuitionistic logic vs classic= al = logic in this area ? -- = There is even better than a pragma Assert: a SPARK --# check. --# check C and WhoKnowWhat and YouKnowWho; --# assert Ada; -- i.e. forget about previous premises which leads to conclusion -- and start with new conclusion as premise.
