We give here two examples showing that if we use the variable
convention carelessly in rule inductions, we might end
up with faulty lemmas. The point is that the examples
are not variable-convention compatible and therefore in the
nominal data package one is protected from such bogus reasoning.

The inductive relation 'unbind' unbinds the top-most
binders of a lambda-term; this relation is obviously
not a function, since it does not respect alpha-
equivalence. However as a relation 'unbind' is ok and
a similar relation has been used in our formalisation
of the algorithm W. *}

... but it is not variable-convention compatible (see Urban,
Berghofer, Norrish [2007]). This condition requires for rule u_lam to
have the binder x not being a free variable in this rule's conclusion.
Because this condition is not satisfied, Isabelle will not derive a
strong induction principle for 'unbind' - that means Isabelle does not
allow us to use the variable convention in induction proofs over 'unbind'.
We can, however, force Isabelle to derive the strengthening induction
principle and see what happens. *}

To obtain a faulty lemma, we introduce the function 'bind'
which takes a list of names and abstracts them away in
a given lambda-term. *}

Although not necessary for our main argument below, we can
easily prove that bind undoes the unbinding. *}

The next lemma shows by induction on xs that if x is a free
variable in t, and x does not occur in xs, then x is a free
variable in bind xs t. In the nominal tradition we formulate
'is a free variable in' as 'is not fresh for'. *}

Now comes the first faulty lemma. It is derived using the
variable convention (i.e. our strong induction principle).
This faulty lemma states that if t unbinds to x#xs and t',
and x is a free variable in t', then it is also a free
variable in bind xs t'. We show this lemma by assuming that
the binder x is fresh w.r.t. to the xs unbound previously. *}

Obviously this lemma is bogus. For example, in
case Lam [x].Lam [x].(Var x) \<mapsto> [x,x],(Var x).
As a result, we can prove False. *}

The next example is slightly simpler, but looks more
contrived than 'unbind'. This example, called 'strip' just
strips off the top-most binders from lambdas. *}

The relation is equivariant but we have to use again

The second faulty lemma shows that a variable being fresh
