-- Copilot specifications constitute the main declaration of Copilot modules.
--
-- A specification normally contains the association between streams to monitor
-- and their handling functions, or streams to observe, or a theorem that must
-- be proved.
--
-- In order to be executed, high-level Copilot Language Spec must be turned
-- into Copilot Core's 'Spec'. This module defines the low-level Copilot Core
-- representations for Specs and the main types of element in a spec..
