 if we omit the way these regular expressions need to be nested.
 where each $r_i$ ($i \in \{1, \ldots, n\}$) is related to some fragments
 of $r$ and $s$.

 The second important observation is that the list %of regular expressions

 cannot grow indefinitely because they all come from $r$, and derivatives
