Q restricted rewrite system:
The TRS R consists of the following rules:

is_empty(nil) → true
is_empty(cons(x, l)) → false
hd(cons(x, l)) → x
tl(cons(x, l)) → l
append(l1, l2) → ifappend(l1, l2, is_empty(l1))
ifappend(l1, l2, true) → l2
ifappend(l1, l2, false) → cons(hd(l1), append(tl(l1), l2))

Q is empty.
