+// BitBlast -- convert bitvector terms and formulas to boolean
+// formulas.  A term is something that can represent a multi-bit
+// bitvector, such as BVPLUS or BVXOR (or a BV variable or constant).
+// A formula (form) represents a boolean value, such as EQ or BVLE.
+// Bit blasting a term representing an n-bit bitvector with BBTerm
+// yields a vector of n boolean formulas (returning ASTVec).
+// Bit blasting a formula returns a single boolean formula (type ASTNode).
+
+// A bitblasted term is a vector of ASTNodes for formulas.
+// The 0th element of the vector corresponds to bit 0 -- the low-order bit.
