+//! Wasmi translation post-conditions.
+//!
+//! These are run if `cfg(debug-assertions)` are enabled and
+//! provide another layer of protection for invalid Wasmi translations.
+//!
+//! They are mostly intended for debugging purposes or for fuzzing Wasmi
+//! as they would add too much overhead to conventional Wasmi translation.
+//!
+//! The set of post-conditions is run right after Wasmi translation has
+//! finished compiling a Wasm function and just before the compiled function
+//! is stored into Wasmi's `CodeMap`.
+//!
+//! The checks generally check invariants and guarantees given by the Wasmi
+//! translation and therefore also act as "documentation" about some of them.
