Sorry it came trough as a being nasty, it wasn't the intention.
There are inherent limits to what can be done with automatic
verification. You should define the scope of what you want to verify and
check its feasibility, before you put it on your feature list and start
throwing resources at it.
The effort needed do satisfy different level of correctness grown very
