(* We do NOT yet introduce "emp" as a notation or synonym for "identity". This is because "emp" is a predicate of Separation Logic, but this file contains only Separation Algebras.  Some separation logics have predicates that are not just "t -> Prop", and therefore it is premature in this file to define "emp". *)
