+  Since both \<open>lexicographic_order\<close> and \<open>size_change\<close> rely on the simplifier internally,
+  there can sometimes be the need for adding additional simp rules to them.
+  This can be done either as arguments to the methods themselves, or globally via the
+  theorem attribute \<open>termination_simp\<close>, which is useful in rare cases.
