/-- First step of the proof of the Banach open mapping theorem (using completeness of `F`):
by Baire's theorem, there exists a ball in `E` whose image closure has nonempty interior.
Rescaling everything, it follows that any `y ∈ F` is arbitrarily well approached by
images of elements of norm at most `C * ‖y‖`.
For further use, we will only need such an element whose image
is within distance `‖y‖/2` of `y`, to apply an iterative process. -/
