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

Proved the following rewrite lemma:

Induction Base:
flatten(gen_nil:unit2_0(0)) →_R^Ω(1)
nil

Induction Step:
flatten(gen_nil:unit2_0(+(n19_0, 1))) →_R^Ω(1)
flatten(gen_nil:unit2_0(n19_0)) →_IH
gen_nil:unit2_0(0)

We have rt ∈ Ω(n¹) and sz ∈ O(n). Thus, we have irc_R ∈ Ω(n).
