This is true ....

but how do you translate

match e with
  S(P(g) <= 0) -> g
| ....

answer :

match f with
   S(f) ->
	match f 0 with
	  P(g) -> ...
| ...

and as you see the "..." are duplicated !!!

you can get an exponential explosion in the size of the program.

The you have to give names to value in the "..." and you get very ugly 
programs ...
