/-- **Tietze extension theorem** for real-valued bounded continuous maps, a version for a closed
embedding. Let `e` be a closed embedding of a nonempty topological space `X` into a normal
topological space `Y`. Let `f` be a bounded continuous real-valued function on `X`. Then there
exists a bounded continuous function `g : Y →ᵇ ℝ` such that `g ∘ e = f` and each value `g y` belongs
to a closed interval `[f x₁, f x₂]` for some `x₁` and `x₂`.  -/

  /- Due to `exists_extension_forall_mem_Icc_of_closedEmbedding`, there exists an extension `g`
    such that `g y ∈ [a, b]` for all `y`. However, if `a` and/or `b` do not belong to the range of
    `f`, then we need to ensure that these points do not belong to the range of `g`. This is done
    in two almost identical steps. First we deal with the case `∀ x, f x ≠ a`. -/
