  This theory introduces basics about permutations, i.e. almost
  everywhere fix bijections.  But it is by no means complete.
  Grieviously missing are cycles since these would require more
  elaboration, e.g. the concept of distinct lists equivalent
  under rotation, which maybe would also deserve its own theory.
  But see theory src/HOL/ex/Perm_Fragments.thy› for
  fragments on that.
