-\subsection{Strictness}
-\label{sec:examples:strictness}
-
-By default, expressions are rewritten using the leftmost outermost rewriting
-strategy. This is guaranteed to find a normal form if one exists, but can be
-inefficient as it can lead to duplicate calculation. Consider the following
-example:
-
-\begin{lstlisting}
-	mul x y  = code mul x y;
-	double x = (x, x);
-	main     = double (mul 5 10);
-\end{lstlisting}
-
-The result is \fuspel{(50,50)}. The expression is rewritten to \fuspel{(mul 5
-10, mul 5 10)}, and only then the \fuspel{mul} calls are rewritten. This is
-inefficient, because we have to multiply the numbers twice.
-
-We can force another rewriting strategy by adding a strictness annotation
-(\fuspel{!}) to the argument of \fuspel{double}:
-
-\begin{lstlisting}
-	mul x y   = code mul x y;
-	double !x = (x, x);
-	main      = double (mul 5 10);
-\end{lstlisting}
-
-The result is the same, but the multiplication is only executed once. To apply
-the \fuspel{double} rule, its argument must be fully evaluated due to the
-strictness annotation. Therefore, the expression is first rewritten to
-\fuspel{double 50}.
-
-One must be careful with adding strictness annotations. Consider the following
-program:
-
-\begin{lstlisting}
-	mul x y     = code mul x y;
-	app f (a,b) = (f a, f b);
-	fst (x,_)   = x;
-	double !x   = (x, x);
-	main        = app fst (double (mul 5 10, mul 10 20));
-\end{lstlisting}
-
-In the call to \fuspel{double}, both \fuspel{mul 5 10} and \fuspel{mul 10 20}
-are fully rewritten due to the strictness annotation. However, only the first
-elements of the resulting tuples are used: the result is \fuspel{(50,50)}. We
-did not need to fully rewrite \fuspel{mul 10 20}, so the strictness annotation
-gave us more work.
