 \begin{abstract}
-Higher-order logic (HOL), used in a number of theorem provers, is based on a small
-logic kernel, whose only mechanism for extension is the introduction of safe
-definitions and non-empty types. Both extensions are often performed by
-quotient constructions; for example finite sets are constructed by quotienting
-lists, or integers by quotienting pairs of natural numbers. To ease the work
-involved with quotient constructions, we re-implemented in Isabelle/HOL the
-quotient package by Homeier. In doing so we extended his work in order to deal
-with compositions of quotients. Also, we designed our quotient package so that
-every step in a quotient construction can be performed separately and as a
-result we were able to specify completely the procedure of lifting theorems from
-the raw level to the quotient level.  The importance to programming language
-research is that many properties of programming languages are more convenient
-to verify over $\alpha$-quotient terms, than over raw terms.
