(9) RewriteLemmaProof (LOWER BOUND(ID) transformation)

Proved the following rewrite lemma:

Induction Base:
r(gen_nil:cons2_0(0), gen_nil:cons2_0(0), gen_nil:cons2_0(c), gen_nil:cons2_0(0)) →_R^Ω(1)
gen_nil:cons2_0(0)

r(gen_nil:cons2_0(0), gen_nil:cons2_0(0), gen_nil:cons2_0(c), gen_nil:cons2_0(+(n4_0, 1))) →_R^Ω(1)
r(gen_nil:cons2_0(0), gen_nil:cons2_0(0), cons(gen_nil:cons2_0(c)), gen_nil:cons2_0(n4_0)) →_IH
