+ * Currently the equality engine can represent disequality reasoning in a
+ * rather coarse-grained manner with EqProof. This is always the case when the
+ * transitivity step contains a disequality, (= (= t t') false) or its
+ * symmetric.
+ *
+ * There are two cases. In the simplest one the general shape of the EqProof
+ * is
+ * (= t1 t2) (= t3 t2) (= (t1 t3) false)
+ * ------------------------------------- EQP::TR
+ * false = true
+ *
+ * which is expanded into
+ * (= t3 t2)
+ * --------- SYMM
+ * (= t1 t2) (= t2 t3)
+ * ------------------- TRANS
+ * (= (= t1 t3) false) (= t1 t3)
+ * --------------------- SYMM ------------------ TRUE_INTRO
+ * (= false (= t1 t3)) (= (= t1 t3) true)
+ * ----------------------------------------------- TRANS
+ * false = true
+ *
+ * by explicitly adding the transitivity step for inferring (= t1 t3) and its
+ * predicate equality. Note that we differentiate (from now on) the EqProof
+ * rules ids from those of ProofRule by adding the prefix EQP:: to the former.
+ *
+ * In the other case, the general shape of the EqProof is
+ *
+ * (= (= t1 t2) false) (= t1 x1) ... (= xn t3) (= t2 y1) ... (= ym t4)
+ * ------------------------------------------------------------------- EQP::TR
+ * (= (= t4 t3) false)
+ *
+ * which is converted into
+ *
+ * (= t1 x1) ... (= xn t3) (= t2 y1) ... (= ym t4)
+ * ------------------------ TR ------------------------ TR
+ * (= t1 t3) (= t2 t4)
+ * ----------- SYMM ----------- SYMM
+ * (= t3 t1) (= t4 t2)
+ * ---------------------------------------- CONG
+ * (= (= t3 t4) (= t1 t2)) (= (= t1 t2) false)
+ * --------------------------------------------------------------------- TR
+ * (= (= t3 t4) false)
+ * --------------------- MACRO_SR_PRED_TRANSFORM
+ * (= (= t4 t3) false)
+ *
+ * whereas the last step is only necessary if the conclusion has the arguments
+ * in reverse order than expected. Note that the original step represents two
+ * substitutions happening on the disequality, from t1->t3 and t2->t4, which
+ * are implicitly justified by transitivity steps that need to be made
+ * explicity. Since there is no sense of ordering among which premisis (other
+ * than (= (= t1 t2) false)) are used for which substitution, the transitivity
+ * proofs are built greedly by searching the sets of premises.
+ *

+ *
+ * Given an equality (= t1 tn), and a list of equalities premises, attempts to
+ * build a chain (= t1 t2) ... (= tn-1 tn) from premises. This is done in a
+ * greedy manner by finding one "link" in the chain at a time, updating the
+ * conclusion to be the next link and the premises by removing the used
+ * premise, and searching recursively.
+ *
+ * Consider for example
+ * - conclusion: (= t1 t4)
+ * - premises: (= t4 t2), (= t2 t3), (= t2 t1), (= t3 t4)
+ *
+ * It proceeds by searching for t1 in an equality in the premises, in order,
+ * which is found in the equality (= t2 t1). Since t2 != t4, it attempts to
+ * build a chain with
+ * - conclusion (= t2 t4)
+ * - premises (= t4 t2), (= t2 t3), (= t3 t4)
+ *
+ * In the first equality it finds t2 and also t4, which closes the chain, so
+ * that premises is updated to (= t2 t4) and the method returns true. Since
+ * the recursive call was successful, the original conclusion (= t1 t4) is
+ * justified with (= t1 t2) plus the chain built in the recursive call,
+ * i.e. (= t1 t2), (= t2 t4).
+ *
+ * Note that not all the premises were necessary to build a successful
+ * chain. Moreover, note that building a successful chain can depend on the
+ * order in which the equalities are chosen. When a recursive call fails to
+ * close a chain, the chosen equality is dismissed and another is searched for
+ * among the remaining ones.
+ *
+ * This method assumes that premises does not contain reflexivity premises.
+ * This is without loss of generality since such premises are spurious for a
+ * transitivity step.

+ * @param premises the list of equalities to build a chain with

+ /** Reduce the a congruence EqProof into a transitivity matrix
+ *
+ * Given a congruence EqProof of (= (f a0 ... an-1) (f b0 ... bn-1)), reduce
+ * its justification into a matrix
+ *
+ * [0] -> p_{0,0} ... p_{m_0,0}
+ * ...
+ * [n-1] -> p_{0,n} ... p_{m_n-1,n-1}
+ *
+ * where f has arity n and each p_{0,i} ... p_{m_i, i} is a transitivity chain
+ * (modulo ordering) justifying (= ai bi).
+ *
+ * Congruence steps in EqProof are binary, representing reasoning over curried
+ * applications. In the simplest case the general shape of a congruence
+ * EqProof is:
+ * P0
+ * ------- EQP::REFL ----------
+ * P1 [] (= a0 b0)
+ * --------- ----------------------- EQP::CONG
+ * (= a1 b1) [] P2
+ * ------------------------- EQP::CONG -----------
+ * [] (= a2 b2)
+ * ------------------------------------------------ EQP::CONG
+ * (= (f a0 a1 a2) (f b0 b1 b2))
+ *
+ * where [] stands for the null node, symbolizing "equality between partial
+ * applications".
+ *
+ * The reduction of such a proof is done by
+ * - converting the proof of the second CONG premise (via addToProof) and
+ * adding the resulting node to row i of the matrix
+ * - recursively reducing the first proof with i-1
+ *
+ * In the above case the transitivity matrix would thus be
+ * [0] -> (= a0 b0)
+ * [1] -> (= a1 b1)
+ * [2] -> (= a2 b2)
+ *
+ * The more complex case of congruence proofs has transitivity steps as the
+ * first child of CONG steps. For example
+ * P0
+ * ------- EQP::REFL ----------
+ * P' [] (= a0 c)
+ * --------- ----------------------------- EQP::CONG
+ * (= b0 c) [] P1
+ * ------------------------- EQP::TRANS -----------
+ * [] (= a1 b1)
+ * ----------------------------------------------------- EQP::CONG
+ * (= (f a0 a1) (f b0 b1))
+ *
+ * where when the first child of CONG is a transitivity step
+ * - the premises that are CONG steps are recursively reduced with *the same*
+ argument i
+ * - the other premises are processed with addToProof and added to the i row
+ * in the matrix
+ *
+ * In the above example the to which the transitivity matrix is
+ * [0] -> (= a0 c), (= b0 c)
+ * [1] -> (= a1 b1)
+ *
+ * The remaining complication is that when conclusion is an equality of n-ary
+ * applications of *different* arities, there is, necessarily, a transitivity
+ * step as a first child a CONG step whose conclusion is an equality of n-ary
+ * applications of different arities. For example
+ * P0 P1
+ * -------------------------- EQP::TRANS -----------
+ * (= (f a0 a1) (f b0)) (= a2 b1)
+ * -------------------------------------------------- EQP::CONG
+ * (= (f a0 a1 a2) (f b0 b1))
+ *
+ * will be first reduced with i = 2 (maximal arity amorg the original
+ * conclusion's applications), adding (= a2 b1) to row 2 after processing
+ * P1. The first child is reduced with i = 1. Since it is a TRANS step whose
+ * conclusion is an equality of n-ary applications with mismatching arity, P0
+ * is processed with addToProof and the result is added to row 1. Thus the
+ * transitivity matrix is
+ * [0] ->
+ * [1] -> (= (f a0 a1) (f b0))
+ * [2] -> (= a2 b1)
+ *
+ * The empty row 0 is used by the original caller of reduceNestedCongruence to
+ * compute that the above congruence proof's conclusion is
+ * (= (f (f a0 a1) a2) (f (f b0) b1))
+ *
+ * @param i the i-th argument of the congruent applications, initially being
+ * the maximal arity among conclusion's applications.
+ * @param conclusion the original congruence conclusion
+ * @param transitivityMatrix a matrix of equalities with each row justifying
+ * an equality between the congruent applications
+ * @param p a pointer to a CDProof to store the conversion of this EqProof
+ * @param visited a cache of the original EqProof conclusions and the
+ * resulting conclusion after conversion.
+ * @param assumptions the assumptions (and variants) of the original EqProof
+ * @param isNary whether conclusion is an equality of n-ary applications
