Subject: Deleting the "semantics" clause of method definitions
It has occurred to me that the "semantics" and the "postconditions"
clauses in our "standard method definition" template are redundant,
i.e. the postconditions *define* the semantics of an operation.
I checked over the spec, and sure enough, the semantics either just
repeat the information in the postconditions, or specify something that
*should* have been a postcondition.
So unless there is an objection, I will delete the "semantics"
clauses from the versioning spec, making sure that the postcondition
sections fully capture the semantics.
Cheers,
Geoff
