G1 is a subenvironment of G2, denoted G1 ⪯ G2, if dom(G1) = dom(G2) and for each x, G1 ⊢ G1(x) <: G2(x).
Reserved Notation "G1 ⪯ G2" (at level 35).

Inductive subenv: ctx → ctx → Prop :=
| subenv_empty : empty ⪯ empty
| subenv_push: ∀ G G' x T T',
    G ⪯ G' →
    ok (G & x ~ T) →
    ok (G' & x ~ T') →
    G ⊢ T <: T' →
    G & x ~ T ⪯ G' & x ~ T'
where "G1 ⪯ G2" := (subenv G1 G2).

Hint Constructors subenv.

If ok G, then G ⪯ G. Note: ok(G) means that G's domain consists of distinct variables.

Hint Resolve subenv_refl.

If G' ⪯ G then G', x: T ⪯ G, x: T
Lemma subenv_extend : ∀ G1 G2 x T,
    G1 ⪯ G2 →
    ok (G1 & x ~ T) → ok (G2 & x ~ T) →
    (G1 & x ~ T) ⪯ (G2 & x ~ T).

If G1 ⪯ G2 then the domains of both G1 and G2 consist of distinct elements.
