Pitts et al introduced a beautiful theory about names and binding based on the
notions of atoms, permutations and support. The engineering challenge is to
smoothly adapt this theory to a theorem prover environment, in our case
-Isabelle/HOL. We present a formalisation of this work that is based on a
-unified atom type and that represents permutations by bijective functions from
-atoms to atoms. Interestingly, we allow swappings, which are permutations
-build from two atoms, to be ill-sorted. Furthermore we extend the nominal

-formalisation of abstractions that bind finite sets of names.
