Following the work of Zimmerman we can implement expressions of the form: (a+b)*c, namely a multiplier where one of the operands is in a carry-save format. This can be useful if we want to multiply three numbers together for example.
Specifically we can use a special encoding to avoid computing the complete (carry-propagated) result of (a+b) before we start the multiplication. This PR adds the following operator:
The PR includes lowerings to comb gates and to SMT for verification as well as canonicalization patterns.
