+begin
+
+text {*
+  When natural numbers are implemented in another than the
+  conventional inductive @{term "0::nat"}/@{term Suc} representation,
+  it is necessary to avoid all pattern matching on natural numbers
+  altogether.  This is accomplished by this theory (up to a certain
+  extent).
+*}
+
+subsection {* Case analysis *}
+
+text {*
+  Case analysis on natural numbers is rephrased using a conditional
+  expression:
+*}
+
+lemma [code, code_unfold]:
+  "nat_case = (\<lambda>f g n. if n = 0 then f else g (n - 1))"
+  by (auto simp add: fun_eq_iff dest!: gr0_implies_Suc)
+
+
+subsection {* Preprocessors *}
+
+text {*
+  The term @{term "Suc n"} is no longer a valid pattern.  Therefore,
+  all occurrences of this term in a position where a pattern is
+  expected (i.e.~on the left-hand side of a code equation) must be
+  eliminated.  This can be accomplished – as far as possible – by
+  applying the following transformation rule:
+*}
+
+lemma Suc_if_eq: "(\<And>n. f (Suc n) \<equiv> h n) \<Longrightarrow> f 0 \<equiv> g \<Longrightarrow>
+  f n \<equiv> if n = 0 then g else h (n - 1)"
+  by (rule eq_reflection) (cases n, simp_all)
+
+text {*
+  The rule above is built into a preprocessor that is plugged into
+  the code generator.
