-/// Test hidden state
-///
-/// Hidden state can cause problems for induction, since the formal engine
-/// can assign invalid values to the state registers, making it traverse
-/// valid but unreachable states.
-///
-/// One solution is to go sufficiently in the past so the engine is forced
-/// to eventually take a reachable state. This may be hampered by
-/// existence of loops, then assumptions may be added to break them.
-///
-/// Another solution is to "open the black box" and add additional
-/// assertions involving the hidden state, so that the unreachable states
-/// become invalid as well.
-///
-/// Both approaches are taken here.
-///
