Subject: Improve automated handling of universes. derive now can automatically
 handle more proofs requiring the use of "U i: U (Suc i)", and shouldn't loop
 as much.

 Using method @{method rule} with @{thm U_cumulative} and @{thm U_cumulative'} is unsafe: if applied blindly it will very easily lead to non-termination.
 Instead use @{method elim}, or instantiate the rules suitably.
 
 @{thm U_cumulative'} is an alternative rule used by the method @{theory_text cumulativity} in @{file HoTT_Methods.thy}.
+
+@{thm U_hierarchy'} is declared with safe @{attribute intro} to be used by the method @{theory_text derive} to handle the universe hierarchy.
+Note that @{thm U_hierarchy} is unsafe.
