  32 --  By and So are connectors used to manually help the proof of assertions by
  33 --  introducing intermediate steps. They can only be used inside pragmas
  34 --  Assert or Assert_And_Cut. They are handled in the following way:
  35 --
  36 --  *  If A and B are two boolean expressions, proving By (A, B) requires
  37 --     proving B, the premise, and then A assuming B, the side-condition. When
  38 --     By (A, B) is assumed on the other hand, we only assume A. B is used
  39 --     for the proof, but is not visible afterward.
  40 --
  41 --  *  If A and B are two boolean expressions, proving So (A, B) requires
  42 --     proving A, the premise, and then B assuming A, the side-condition. When
  43 --     So (A, B) is assumed both A and B are assumed to be true.
