+Memoization can also be weakly embedded in Coq by using co-inductive
+datatypes. This works extremely well for functions that take Peano
+numbers as input, as a lazy data structure can be defined using
+co-inductive types, which represents unevaluated thunks. Once these are
+evaluated, they can just be read back normally.
