It allows the framework to bootstrap via successive approximation. Initially, the 'implies()' function is just a plain function, and then it later becomes a generic function. (And of course it gets called in between those two points.) The same happens for 'disjuncts()' and 'overrides()'.

But you know from the outset that these functions will eventually become generic, so why can't they be defined as some callable object that can have its insides switched, if you're on a Python whose normal function objects don't allow that?
