The Higman's Lemma says that if A is a well-quasi-order, so
is the set of finite sequences over A with the order induced by
embedding. By considering the structure of the categories of
well-founded quasi-orders and well-quasi-orders, another proof of the
Lemma will be derived, along with a number of variants, which may be
of some interest.
