(* Some basic properties of the alwas predicate *)
(* The predicates, corresponding to weakest postconditions, necessary for defining safe executions of programs.  *)
Notation alwsafe_sc s p scs := (always_sc s p scs (fun _ _ => True)).
Notation alwsafe s p := (always s p (fun _ _ => True)).
Arguments alwA [A B s p P].
(* always commutes with implication, so we can weaken the postconditions *)
