@julesh Is there an implicit F between the + and the 1 that's also participating in the pattern-match, or something like that?

@jhaas @futurebird Surely the use of := for definitions in maths predates (and influences) APL, rather than the other way round.

@julesh (At least the claim is) that the game-theoretic value of the starting position is calculated (as 0, in this case). A strong solution would give a tractable way to evaluate any possible position.

It's weird, though, because we'd want substitutions to contain synthesising terms (because ultimately those terms replace variables, which are synthesising), but surely you would never synthesise a type of the form `A[σ]` (as required by the snoc rule, `(σ : Γ ⇒ Δ) → Γ ⊢ A[σ] → Γ ⇒ Δ, A`). Maybe […]
