I suppose the way we handle things now is that the distinction is between what
goes into HOLDIR/src and what goes into HOLDIR/examples.  The distinction is
based on the degree to which we expect something to be widely used. Your work is
clearly similar to the patricia tree theories, so, like that work, it should
almost certainly fall into src.

Certainly, I’d be interested in seeing the notes.

If you did want that link, and we put your code into src, then wellorderTheory
would need to go into src as well, so that linking to it would be as simple as
typing

   open wellorderTheory

just as you refer to other standard theories from src (num, real, relation, bool
etc).  Otherwise, you’d need to explicitly put the
$(HOLDIR)/examples/set-theory/hol_sets into an INCLUDES specification in a
Holmakefile.
