  Unfortunately, we cannot lift this operations to algebraic type
  classes for division: being different from the constant
  zero function @{term "f \<noteq> 0"} is too weak as precondition.
  So we must introduce our own set of lemmas.

abbreviation zero_free :: "('b \<Rightarrow> 'a::field) \<Rightarrow> bool" where
  "zero_free f \<equiv> \<not> (\<exists>x. f x = 0)"

lemma fun_left_inverse:
  fixes f :: "'b \<Rightarrow> 'a::field"
  shows "zero_free f \<Longrightarrow> inverse f * f = 1"
  by (simp add: fun_eq_iff)

lemma fun_right_inverse:
  fixes f :: "'b \<Rightarrow> 'a::field"
  shows "zero_free f \<Longrightarrow> f * inverse f = 1"
  by (simp add: fun_eq_iff)

lemma fun_divide_inverse:
  fixes f g :: "'b \<Rightarrow> 'a::field"
  shows "f / g = f * inverse g"

  Another possibility would be a reformulation of the division type
  classes to user a @{term zero_free} predicate rather than
  a direct @{term "a \<noteq> 0"} condition.
