The proposed derivations, such as the above one, make steps that
do not appear to be needed at the time in which they are made.
E.g., the following derivation is lazier. Loosely speaking, the
lazier you are, the more results you get. This might change the
claims on the number of results.

     test1
   (Fapp)
     twice f1 10
   (Fapp)
     f1 (f1 10)
   ...
