This follows from a discussion with Ernesto Posse.
The semantics for the {...} operator we use in Spot comes from the
cl(...) operator defined by Dax et al. (ATVA'09). This is slightly
different from the the way the PSL spec interprets a SERE used in the
context of a temporal formula (appendix B.3.1.1.2, item 7).
cl({a;b}[*]) would match any infinite word that starts with a;b, while
in PSL {a;b}[*] would match any infinite word that alternates a and b.
Spot documents that {SERE} in a temporal formula is interpreted like
cl(SERE) however it failed to ignore the empty prefix of SERE. So
{{a;b}[*]} would match anything, because the empty word is a prefix of
any word, and is also accepted by {a;b}[*]. Some trivial identities
and basic rewritings were also wrongly considering these empty
prefixes as well.
This patch therefore fixes the translation and syntactic
simplification rules, to really ignore these empty prefixes.
In some future version it should probably be wise to rename this {...}
operator as cl(...), and use {...} for the semantics given in appendix
B.3.1.1.2 (item 7) of the PSL specs.
* src/ltlast/unop.cc: Fix trivial identities. We have
{[*0]} = 0 and !{[*0]} = 1.
* src/ltlvisit/simplify.cc: Fix basic rewriting rules.
{e[*]} = {e} and !{e[*]} = !{e}.
* doc/tl/tl.tex: Adjust documentation.
* doc/tl/tl.bib (dax.09.atva): New entry.
* src/tgbaalgos/ltl2tgba_fm.cc: Do not accept any
infinite word for {e[*]} just because the empty
prefix is matched by e[*].
* src/tgbatest/ltl2tgba.test: Add a test case.
* NEWS: Mention it.
* THANKS: Add Ernesto.
The set of rules enabled by favor_even_univ try to "lift" the
subformulae that are both eventual and universal, so they appear
higher in the AST. This is contrary to what we used to do (and still
do when the option is unset), were we try to postpone such subformulae
(by moving them down the AST). It is still a bit experimental.

This somehow revert changes from 2010-01-30 which killed this use of
star to make room for the Kleen star. Here we only allow '*' in the
temporal formula, so that it can still be the Kleen star in SERE. The
motivation for '*' available as And is better compatibility with Wring
and VIS.
* src/ltlparse/ltlscan.ll: Distinguish * from [*].

temporal formulae.

The actual rules are a bit more complex:
a & X(G(a&b...)&c...) = Ga & X(G(b...)&c...)
a | X(Fa | c) = F(a) | c
with the second rule being applied only if all XF can
be removed. See the documentation for an example.
