module FStar.Universe

(** This module implements some basic facilities to raise the universe of a type *
  * The type [raise_t a] is supposed to be isomorphic to [a] but in a higher     *
  * universe. The two functions [raise_val] and [downgrade_val] allow to coerce   *
  * from [a] to [raise_t a] and back.                                            **)
