text‹To deal with $\alpha$-equivalence, we use De Bruijn's nameless representation wherein each bound
 variable is represented by a natural number, its index, that denotes the number of binders
 that must be traversed to arrive at the one that binds the given variable.
 Each free variable has an index that points into the top-level context, not enclosed in
 any abstractions.›
