/** SygusAbduct
 *
 * A preprocessing utility that turns a set of quantifier-free assertions into
 * a sygus conjecture that encodes an abduction problem. In detail, if our
 * input formula is F( x ) for free symbols x, then we construct the sygus
 * conjecture:
 *
 * exists A. forall x. ( A( x ) => ~F( x ) )
 *
 * where A( x ) is a predicate over the free symbols of our input. In other
 * words, A( x ) is a sufficient condition for showing ~F( x ).
 *
 * Another way to view this is A( x ) is any condition such that A( x ) ^ F( x )
 * is unsatisfiable.
 *
 * A common use case is to find the weakest such A that meets the above
 * specification. We do this by streaming solutions (sygus-stream) for A
 * while filtering stronger solutions (sygus-filter-sol=strong). These options
 * are enabled by default when this preprocessing class is used (sygus-abduct).
 *
 * If the input F( x ) is partitioned into axioms Fa and negated conjecture Fc
 * Fa( x ) ^ Fc( x ), then the sygus conjecture we construct is:
 *
 * exists A. ( exists y. A( y ) ^ Fa( y ) ) ^ forall x. ( A( x ) => ~F( x ) )
 *
 * In other words, A( y ) must be consistent with our axioms Fa and imply
 * ~F( x ). We encode this conjecture using SygusSideConditionAttribute.
