Add an intermezzo about substitution.

This is the first attempt at an intermezzo, which is not quite ideal yet,
but it works for now.

+          In some of the transformations in this chapter, we need to perform
+          substitution on an expression. Substitution means replacing every
+          occurence of some expression (usually a variable reference) with
+          another expression.
+
+          There have been a lot of different notations used in literature for
+          specifying substitution. The notation that will be used in this report
+          is the following:
+
+          \startlambda
+            E[A=>B]
+          \stoplambda
+
+          This means expression \lam{E} with all occurences of \lam{A} replaced
+          with \lam{B}.

         β-reduction is a well known transformation from lambda calculus, where it is
         the main reduction step. It reduces applications of lambda abstractions,
         removing both the lambda abstraction and the application.
