Notation

`F`	A type that is a model of Predicate
`X`	The argument type of `F`
`f`	Object of type `F`
`x`	Object of type `X`

Valid expressions

Name	Expression	Type requirements	Return type
Function call	`f(x)`		Convertible to `bool`

Expression semantics

Name	Expression	Precondition	Semantics	Postcondition
Function call	`f(x)`	`x` is in the domain of `f`.	Returns `true` if the condition is satisfied, `false` if it is not.	The result is either `true` or `false`.
