(** The proof of semantic preservation is a simulation argument based on "option" diagrams of the following form: << n st1 --------------- st2 |                   | t|                   |t or (? and n' < n) |                   | v                   v st1'--------------- st2' n' >> The left vertical arrow represents a transition in the original RTL code.  The top horizontal bar is the [match_states] invariant between the initial state [st1] in the original RTL code and an initial state [st2] in the transformed code. This invariant expresses that all code fragments appearing in [st2] are obtained by [transf_code] transformation of the corresponding fragments in [st1].  Moreover, the state [st1] must match its compile-time approximations at the current program point. These two parts of the diagram are the hypotheses.  In conclusions, we want to prove the other two parts: the right vertical arrow, which is a transition in the transformed RTL code, and the bottom horizontal bar, which means that the [match_state] predicate holds between the final states [st1'] and [st2']. *)
