-- Since tricu eliminates Lambda terms to SKI combinators, the tree form of many
-- functions defined via Lambda terms are larger than the most efficient TC
-- representation. Between different languages that evaluate to tree calculus
-- terms, the exact implementation of Lambda elimination may differ and lead
-- to different tree representations even if they share extensional behavior.
-- Let's see if these are the same:
lambdaEqualsTC = equal? not_TC? not_Lambda?
-- Here are some checks to verify their extensional behavior is the same:
true_TC? = not_TC? demo_false
false_TC? = not_TC? demo_true
true_Lambda? = not_Lambda? demo_false
false_Lambda? = not_Lambda? demo_true
bothTrueEqual? = equal? true_TC? true_Lambda?
bothFalseEqual? = equal? false_TC? false_Lambda?
