  the sharing of the subformulae.  It is okay to call this function

  SideEffects [A formula in formulaArray might be freed if it had been
  encountered as a subformula of some other formula. Other formulae in
  formulaArray might be present in the returned array. Therefore, the
  formulae in formulaArray should not be freed. Only formulaArray
  itself should be freed.



  RB:  What does that mean?

  I understand this as follows.  Copies of the formulae are not made,
  but rather pointers to the argument subformulae are kept.  Hence, not only
  should the formulae in the result not be freed, but also you cannot free the
  argument before you are done with the result.  Furthermore, by invocation of
  this function, the argument gets altered.  It is still valid, but pointers
  may have changed.  Is this correct?


  RB rewrite: A formula in formulaArray is freed if it is encountered as a
  subformula of some other formula. Other formulae in formulaArray might be
  present in the returned array. Therefore, the formulae in formulaArray should
  not be freed. Only formulaArray itself should be freed.]
