/**
 * Implements Twee's goal-directed preprocessing technique for equational reasoning.
 * To quote "Twee: An Equational Theorem Prover" (Smallbone, 2021):
 *
 * ----- 
 * Twee’s frontend can optionally transform the problem to make the prover more goal-directed.
 * The transformation is simple, but strange.
 * For every function term f(...) appearing in the goal, we introduce a fresh constant symbol a and add the axiom f(...) = a
 * For example, if the goal is f(g(a), b) = h(c) we add the axioms f(g(a), b) = sF0, g(a) = sF1, and h(c) = sF2.
 * Simplification will rewrite the first axiom to f(sF1, b) = sF0 and the goal to sF0 = sF2.
 * -----
 * 
 * There are a few minor differences in our take on the idea:
 * - the definitions are introduced bottum up and cached (so each subterm is only defined once)
 * - the bottom-up approach also means the rules and the conjecture "are born" already inter-reduced
 * - optionally, also non-ground subterms are considered, but never in the case this would not lead 
 *  to a demodulator under the standard (constant weight) KBO: 
 *  in particular linear terms such as f(X,Y,Z) are not defined
 * - the implementation should work for polymorphic inputs
