There was a problem hiding this comment.
How about inserting one more line of output that tells the user that they haven't specified an engine and thereby triggered heuristic (maybe it should actually be called "default"?) selection?
This adds a trivial engine selection heuristic, as follows: 1) First, try 1-induction, which may refute (base case) or prove (step case) the property. 2) If still unresolved, try BMC with bound 5. The heuristic is activated when no engine is specified on the command line.
