    Author:     Tobias Nipkow and Lawrence C Paulson

Derived first for transitive relations, and finally for arbitrary WF relations
via wf_trancl and trans_trancl.

It is difficult to derive this general case directly, using r^+ instead of
r.  In is_recfun, the two occurrences of the relation must have the same
form.  Inserting r^+ in the_recfun or wftrec yields a recursion rule with
r^+ -`` {a} instead of r-``{a}.  This recursion rule is stronger in
principle, but harder to use, especially to prove wfrec_eclose_eq in
epsilon.ML.  Expanding out the definition of wftrec in wfrec would yield
a mess.
