Larch

   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.
