Larry Paulson shows a construction of quotients that does not require the
Hilbert Choice operator, again only first order~\cite{Paulson06}.

+ The closest to our package is the package for HOL4 by Peter Homeier~\cite{Homeier05},
+ which is the first one to support lifting of higher order theorems. In
+ comparison with this package we explore the notion of composition of quotients,
+ which allows lifting constants like @{term "concat"} and theorems about it.
+ The HOL4 package requires a big lists of constants, theorems to lift,
+ respectfullness conditions as input. Our package is modularized, so that
+ single definitions, single theorems or single respectfullness conditions etc
+ can be added, which allows a natural use of the quotient package together
+ with type-classes and locales.
The code of the quotient package described here is already included in the
standard distribution of Isabelle.\footnote{Available from
