 Isabelle~\cite{paulson-isa-book} is implemented in ML~\cite{SML}.  This has
 influenced some of Isabelle/HOL's concrete syntax but is otherwise irrelevant
 for us because this tutorial is based on
-Isabelle/Isar~\cite{isabelle-isar-ref}, an extension of Isabelle with
-structured proofs. Thus the full name of the system should be
-Isabelle/Isar/HOL, but that is a bit of a mouthful. There are other
-implementations of HOL, in particular the one by Mike Gordon \emph{et al.},
-which is usually referred to as ``the HOL system'' \cite{mgordon-hol}. For us,
-HOL refers to the logical system, and sometimes its incarnation Isabelle/HOL.

 A tutorial is by definition incomplete.  Currently the tutorial only
