Reduction for the simply-typed call-by-value lambda calculus consists of
the β rule,

  (λx.N)V ⟹ N[x:=V]

and the congruence rules

  L ⟹ L′
  ------------
  L M ⟹ L′ M

  M ⟹ M′
  ------------
  V M ⟹ V M′

Question: Is there a standard greek letter for naming the congruence rules,
such as κ or γ? Or any other relevant naming convention?

Cheers, -- P
