text {*
  This is an abstract version of theory @{text "Nat"}. Instead of
  axiomatizing a single type @{text nat} we define the class of all
  these types (up to isomorphism).

  Note: The @{text rec} operator had to be made \emph{monomorphic},
  because class axioms may not contain more than one type variable.
