      (/.f64 (*.f64 c -1/2) b): 0 points increase in error, 0 points decrease in error
      (Rewrite<= associate-*l/_binary64 (*.f64 (/.f64 c b) -1/2)): 2 points increase in error, 0 points decrease in error
      (Rewrite<= *-commutative_binary64 (*.f64 -1/2 (/.f64 c b))): 0 points increase in error, 0 points decrease in error
