(** * Semantics

  - [sem e vnl vsl] is the evaluation of the expression [e] where the [i]th normal variable is
    instantiated with the [i]th value of [vnl], and the [i]th safe variable is
    instantiated with the [i]th value of [vsl].
    If a variable is not assigned a value, then it is assumed to be the empty bitstring [nil].
    Values in [vnl] and [vsl] that do not correspond to a variable are ignored.

  - [BC_ind_inf] is an induction principle that makes easier dealing with arities in inductive proofs.
