  /- We have to show that `y` can be written as `f x` for some `x ∈ closedBall b ε`.
    The idea of the proof is to apply the Banach contraction principle to the map
    `g : x ↦ x + f'symm (y - f x)`, as a fixed point of this map satisfies `f x = y`.
    When `f'symm` is a genuine linear inverse, `g` is a contracting map. In our case, since `f'symm`
    is nonlinear, this map is not contracting (it is not even continuous), but still the proof of
    the contraction theorem holds: `uₙ = gⁿ b` is a Cauchy sequence, converging exponentially fast
    to the desired point `x`. Instead of appealing to general results, we check this by hand.

    The main point is that `f (u n)` becomes exponentially close to `y`, and therefore
    `dist (u (n+1)) (u n)` becomes exponentally small, making it possible to get an inductive
    bound on `dist (u n) b`, from which one checks that `u n` stays in the ball on which one has a
    control. Therefore, the bound can be checked at the next step, and so on inductively.
