  We show here that the Plotkin-style of defining
  reduction relations (based on congruence rules) is
  equivalent to the Felleisen-Hieb-style representation 
  (based on contexts), and show cbv-evaluation via a 
  CK-machine described by Roshan James.
  
  The interesting point is that contexts do not contain 
  any binders. On the other hand the operation of filling 
  a term into a context produces an alpha-equivalent term.
