deprecate forall ? #33

Closed davidcok closed 2 years ago

davidcok commented 2 years ago

Now that we have \choose (aka \some) we can write in a specification case: old T e = (\choose T x; P(x)); which I think would be entirely equivalent to forall T e; requires P(e); and as no one has claimed ever having needed forall, can we simplify matters by dropping it from JML?

See also #8: In a nutshell, let us keep old and drop forall. Agreed.

I think that deprecating "forall" would be sensible.

I think we have a consensus here.
