* Now we can define the Peano axioms. Unlike with equality, perga is not
* powerful enough to construct the natural numbers (or at least to prove the
* Peano axioms as theorems from a definition constructible in perga). However,
* working with axioms is extremely common in math. As such, perga has a system
* for doing just that, namely the *axiom* system.
*
* In a definition, rather than give a value for the term, we can give it the
* value `axiom`, in which case a type ascription is mandatory. Perga will then
* trust our type ascription, and assume going forward that the identifier we
* defined is a value of the asserted type. For example, we will use the axiom
* system to assert the existence of a type of natural numbers
*]
nat : * := axiom;
[*
* As you can imagine, this can be risky. For instance, there's nothing stopping
* us from saying
* uh_oh : false := axiom;
* or stipulating more subtly contradictory axioms. As such, as in mathematics,
* axioms should be used with care.
*
* There's another problem with axioms, namely that perga cannot do any
* computations with axioms. The more you can define within perga natively, the
* better, as computations done without axioms can be utilized by perga. For
* example, in <computation.pg>, we define the natural numbers as Church
* numerals entirely within perga. There, the proof that `1 + 1 = 2` is just
* `eq_refl`, since they reduce to the same thing. Here, `1 + 1 = 2` will
* require a proof, since perga is unable to do computations with things defined
* as axioms.
*
* With these warnings in place, the Peano axioms are proven to be consistent,
* so we should be fine. I'm formalizing the second order axioms given in the
* wikipedia article on the Peano axioms
* (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peano_axioms).

* Before we continue one to defining addition, we need one more bunch of
* axioms. Addition is normally defined recursively, which is difficult without
* inductive definitions. I'm pretty sure this axiom is derivable from the
* others, but I've spent a very long time trying to derive it, and it has
* proven extremely difficult. I'm still convinced it's possible, just
* prohibitively difficult and tedious without further language features
* (implicit arguments and let bindings would help a ton).
*
* Normally, we define recursive functions `f : nat -> A` in the following format:
* f 0 = fzero
* f (suc n) = fsuc n (f n)
* More concretely, we have two equations, one for each possible case for `n`,
* i.e. either zero or a successor. In the successor case, the value of
* `f (suc n)` can depend on the value of `f n`. The recursion axioms below
* assert that for any such pair of equations, there exists a unique function
* satisfying said equations.
