/-- **Phragmen-Lindelöf principle** in a strip `U = {z : ℂ | a < im z < b}`.
Let `f : ℂ → E` be a function such that

* `f` is differentiable on `U` and is continuous on its closure;
* `‖f z‖` is bounded from above by `A * exp(B * exp(c * |re z|))` on `U` for some `c < π / (b - a)`;
* `‖f z‖` is bounded from above by a constant `C` on the boundary of `U`.

Then `‖f z‖` is bounded by the same constant on the closed strip
`{z : ℂ | a ≤ im z ≤ b}`. Moreover, it suffices to verify the second assumption
only for sufficiently large values of `|re z|`.
