/-- If a monotone sequence `u` is such that `u n / n` tends to a limit `l` along subsequences with
exponential growth rate arbitrarily close to `1`, then `u n / n` tends to `l`. -/

  /- To check the result up to some `ε > 0`, we use a sequence `c` for which the ratio
    `c (N+1) / c N` is bounded by `1 + ε`. Sandwiching a given `n` between two consecutive values of
    `c`, say `c N` and `c (N+1)`, one can then bound `u n / n` from above by `u (c N) / c (N - 1)`
    and from below by `u (c (N - 1)) / c N` (using that `u` is monotone), which are both comparable
    to the limit `l` up to `1 + ε`.
    We give a version of this proof by clearing out denominators first, to avoid discussing the sign
    of different quantities. -/
