Definition In_dec := List.In_dec dec. (* Already in List.v *)
Proof using A dec.
induction l as [|a l IH].
- left. inversion 1.
- destruct (In_dec a l') as [IN|IN].
+ destruct IH as [IC|IC].
* left. destruct 1; subst; auto.
* right. contradict IC. intros x H. apply IC; now right.
+ right. contradict IN. apply IN; now left.
