  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 {predicate}s written in LSL,
          the {Larch Shared Language} common to all.
