I'm relatively new to using Frama-C and Caduceus, so I was wondering if someone could explain what extra capabilities ACSL has that Caduceus's specification language does not? Was the main idea of ACSL that slight improvements could be made to Caduceus's specification language since the entire Frama-C framework was being introduced at that point anyway, or was there some other additional goal in the ACSL specification language design? (Furthermore, is the goal with ACSL to eventually add a number of features that Caduceus does not have? It's difficult to glean the answer to these questions from the documentation.) - Alan
