(*****   SUBLIST  ******)

Definition sublist {A} (lo hi: Z) (al: list A) : list A :=
  firstn (Z.to_nat (hi-lo)) (skipn (Z.to_nat lo) al).Definition upd_Znth {A} (i: Z) (al: list A) (x: A): list A :=

Lemma sublist_len_1: forall {A}{d: Inhabitant A} i (al: list A), 0 <= i < Zlength al -> sublist i (i+1) al = Znth i al :: nil.
