(** Turning a list into an array. This is a small program to illustrate the use of Why3's Peano numbers (see module mach.peano.Peano). It turns a list into an array. The point is that we use machine integers (for the list length and for array indices) but we avoid having to prove the absence of arithmetic overflow.
