subsection "Big-Step Semantics of Commands"
text ‹
The big-step semantics is a straight-forward inductive definition
with concrete syntax. Note that the first parameter is a tuple,
so the syntax becomes ‹(c,s) ⇒ s'›.

This induction schema is almost perfect for our purposes, but
our trick for reusing the tuple syntax means that the induction
schema has two parameters instead of the ‹c›, ‹s›,
and ‹s'› that we are likely to encounter. Splitting
the tuple parameter fixes this:

text‹This is an \emph{elimination rule}. The [elim] attribute tells auto,

We call two statements ‹c› and ‹c'› equivalent wrt.\ the
big-step semantics when \emph{‹c› started in ‹s› terminates
in ‹s'› iff ‹c'› started in the same ‹s› also terminates
in the same ‹s'›}. Formally:

Warning: ‹∼› is the symbol written \verb!\ < s i m >! (without spaces).
As an example, we show that loop unfolding is an equivalence
