Unfortunately, we cannot lift this operations to algebraic type
classes for division: being different from the constant
zero function \<^term>‹f ≠ 0› is too weak as precondition.
So we must introduce our own set of lemmas.

Another possibility would be a reformulation of the division type
classes to user a \<^term>‹zero_free› predicate rather than
a direct \<^term>‹a ≠ 0› condition.
