Used ordering: Combined order from the following AFS and order.
APP(x1, x2)  =  APP(x2)
app(x1, x2)  =  app(x1, x2)
dropWhile  =  dropWhile
cons  =  cons
takeWhile  =  takeWhile

Lexicographic path order with status [19].
Quasi-Precedence:
cons > APP1 > [app2, dropWhile]
takeWhile > APP1 > [app2, dropWhile]

APP1: [1]
app2: [2,1]
