   eta conversion
  
      In {lambda-calculus}, the eta conversion rule states
  
      \ x . f x   <-->   f
  
      provided x does not occur as a {free variable} in f and f is a
      function.   Left to right is eta reduction, right to left is
      eta abstraction (or eta expansion).
  
      This conversion is only valid if {bottom} and \ x . bottom are
      equivalent in all contexts.   They are certainly equivalent
      when applied to some argument - they both fail to terminate.
      If we are allowed to force the evaluation of an expression in
      any other way, e.g. using {seq} in {Miranda} or returning a
      function as the overall result of a program, then bottom and
      \ x . bottom will not be equivalent.
  
      See also {observational equivalence}, {reduction}.
