+Isabelle prints a
+\REMARK{error or warning?  change this part?  rename g to f?}
+message showing you what it was unable to prove. You will then
+have to prove it as a separate lemma before you attempt the definition

+It was not proved automatically because of the awkward behaviour of subtraction
+on type \isa{nat}. This requires more arithmetic than is tried by default:%

+Because \isacommand{recdef}'s termination prover involves simplification,
+we include in our second attempt a hint: the \attrdx{recdef_simp} attribute 
+says to use \isa{termi{\isacharunderscore}lem} as
+a simplification rule.%

+This time everything works fine. Now \isa{g{\isachardot}simps} contains precisely
+the stated recursion equation for \isa{g}, which has been stored as a
+simplification rule.  Thus we can automatically prove results such as this one:%
+\end{isamarkuptext}%
+\isacommand{theorem}\ {\isachardoublequote}g{\isacharparenleft}{\isadigit{1}}{\isacharcomma}{\isadigit{0}}{\isacharparenright}\ {\isacharequal}\ g{\isacharparenleft}{\isadigit{1}}{\isacharcomma}{\isadigit{1}}{\isacharparenright}{\isachardoublequote}\isanewline
+\isacommand{apply}{\isacharparenleft}simp{\isacharparenright}\isanewline
+\isacommand{done}%
+\begin{isamarkuptext}%
+\noindent
+More exciting theorems require induction, which is discussed below.
+
+If the termination proof requires a new lemma that is of general use, you can
+turn it permanently into a simplification rule, in which case the above
+\isacommand{hint} is not necessary. But our \isa{termi{\isacharunderscore}lem} is not
+sufficiently general to warrant this distinction.
+
+The attentive reader may wonder why we chose to call our function \isa{g}
+rather than \isa{f} the second time around. The reason is that, despite
+the failed termination proof, the definition of \isa{f} did not
+fail, and thus we could not define it a second time. However, all theorems
+about \isa{f}, for example \isa{f{\isachardot}simps}, carry as a precondition
+the unproved termination condition. Moreover, the theorems
+\isa{f{\isachardot}simps} are not stored as simplification rules. 
+However, this mechanism
+allows a delayed proof of termination: instead of proving
+\isa{termi{\isacharunderscore}lem} up front, we could prove 
+it later on and then use it to remove the preconditions from the theorems
+about \isa{f}. In most cases this is more cumbersome than proving things
+up front.
