This is not an example from the iterator checker (hopefully Adam will provide 
us with one example from there) but think of division by zero. The division by 
zero check will only warn if a value is constrained to be zero. The imprecision 
in the built in solver might result in failure to constrain a value to zero 
while the Z3 might be able to do that.
