 We prove the inversion principle for functions by induction on the
 derivation of the less-than relation. To make the induction hypothesis
-stronger, we broaden the premise to `u₁ ⊑ u₂` (instead of `v ↦ w ⊑
-u`), and strengthen the conclusion to say that for _every_ function
-value `v ↦ w ∈ u₁`, we have that `v ↦ w` factors `u₂` into some
-value `u₃`.
