FWIW, while it may correspond to "statements" for some languages, it
will correspond to other things in other languages (e.g. those that
don't have a notion of "statement"), so it's probably best to stick to
"sentence" here and then in the doc explain how that notion is expected
to be mapped to notions that make sense for a given language.
