+-- This package implements a light expansion which is used in formal
+-- verification mode. Instead of a complete expansion of nodes for code
+-- generation, this Alfa expansion targets generation of intermediate code
+-- for formal verification.
+
+-- Expand_Alfa is called directly by Expander.Expand.
+
+-- Alfa expansion has three main objectives:
+
+-- 1. Perform limited expansion to explicit some Ada rules and constructs
+-- (translate 'Old and 'Result, replace renamings by renamed, insert
+-- conversions, expand actuals in calls to introduce temporaries)
+
+-- 2. Facilitate treatment for the formal verification back-end (fully
+-- qualify names)
+
+-- 3. Avoid the introduction of low-level code that is difficult to analyze
+-- formally, as typically done in the full expansion for high-level
+-- constructs (tasking, dispatching)
