+The real numbers, constructed as equivalence classes of Cauchy sequences of rationals.
+This construction follows Bishop and Bridges (1985).
+
+At this point, we no longer proceed constructively: this file makes heavy use of decidability,
+ excluded middle, and Hilbert choice.
+
+Here, we show that ℝ is complete.
