corollary "sqrt (real (2::nat)) \<notin> \<rat>"
by (rule sqrt_prime_irrational) (rule two_is_prime)
subsection {* Variations *}
text {*
Here is an alternative version of the main proof, using mostly
linear forward-reasoning. While this results in less top-down
structure, it is probably closer to proofs seen in mathematics.
