  -- The proof goes as follows. Given an orbit of length `(m * n)` starting from `y`, each of its
  -- iterates `y`, `T^[m] y`, `T^[m]^[2] y` ... is `(dynEntourage T U m)`-close to a point of `s`.
  -- Conversely, given a sequence `t 0`, `t 1`, `t 2` of points in `s`, we choose a point
  -- `z = dyncover t` such that  `z`, `T^[m] z`, `T^[m]^[2] z` ... are `(dynEntourage T U m)`-close
  --  to `t 0`, `t 1`, `t 2`... Then  `y`, `T^[m] y`, `T^[m]^[2] y` ... are
  -- `(dynEntourage T (U ○ U) m)`-close to `z`, `T^[m] z`, `T^[m]^[2] z`, so that the union of such
  -- `z` provides the desired cover. Since there are at most `s.card ^ n` sequences of
  -- length `n` with values in `s`, we get the upper bound we want on the cardinality.
  -- First step: construct `dyncover`. Given `t 0`, `t 1`, `t 2`, if we cannot find such a point
  -- `dyncover t`, we use the dummy `x`.
