In \S\ref{sec:nested-datatype} we defined the datatype of terms%

and closed with the observation that the associated schema for the definition
of primitive recursive functions leads to overly verbose definitions. Moreover,
if you have worked exercise~\ref{ex:trev-trev} you will have noticed that
you needed to reprove many lemmas reminiscent of similar lemmas about
\isa{rev}. We will now show you how \isacommand{recdef} can simplify
definitions and proofs about nested recursive datatypes. As an example we
choose exercise~\ref{ex:trev-trev}:%
