(** length_le_and_incl_implies_dup_or_perm is a generalisation of the PHP for which the inductive case works w/o needing decidable equality  But I know, I should find a better name for it ...  If  m is longer than l and m is (set) included in l then either it has a duplicate or it is permutable with l  The proof is by measure induction on length l *)
