We encode \(\mathsf{max}~f~t\) by primitive recursion on the length of
the list \(t\).
-\[\doprimrec{t.0}{\zero}{x}{(x.1 - f~x.0) + f~x.0}\]
-We compute the binary maximum by performing a truncated subtraction
-followed by an addition. These both have standard
-encodings~\cref{add+sub}. Note that we use the inductive hypothesis on
-the left of the subtraction so that a naive partial evaluator can
-reduce the maximum of a singleton list to a single value.
+\[\doprimrec{t.0}{\zero}{x}{f~x.0 \sqcup x.1}\]
The final operator to encode is pattern matching. We achieve this by
inspecting the length of the list to match.
