Previously, every use of an
assumestatement with an{:axiom}annotation gave rise to the following warning:This wording causes most new Dafny users to decorate their
assumestatements with{:axiom}, which defeats the purpose of the warning and misuses the{:axiom}annotation. The idea behind the warning is to alert the user that here is anassumestatement that should eventually be removed (this happens if theassumeis added temporarily during verification debugging) or confirmed to be a permanent axiom. The idea behind the{:axiom}annotation is to confirm that this use of theassumeis really intended to be in the code permanently, so no warning should be generated.This PR changes the warning message to
which is more to the point.
