-- We prove by induction on the transitive closure proof rs. The three cases
-- are given diagrammatically:
--
-- rs = rule r′
-- We have the following diagram by assumption.
-- x - r′ → y
-- |        |
-- r        s
-- ↓        ↓
-- z - s′ → t
--
-- rs = refl
-- The diagram commutes.
-- x == x
-- |    |
-- r    r
-- ↓    ↓
-- z == z
--
-- rs = trans rs₁ rs₂
-- The diagram commutes, with each square derived by induction.
