Got it. And I do find that very relatable to LKMM developers who, like me,
are definitely not fluent in OCaml. :-/

Let me draft some .txt to such effect, based on but expanding and hopefully
completing my previous remarks in

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/ZjrSm119+IfIU9eU@andrea/

Having something like that "on paper" can also help evaluate future changes
to the tool and/or model.

Thank you for the suggestion.
