Description

KEVM uses the following lemmas to push symbolic values to the left in commutative-associative operations: https://github.com/kframework/evm-semantics/blob/master/tests/specs/lemmas.k#L290

We should add the same or similar lemmas, and go over our lemmas file and look for other cases where this can be simplified.

Research direction

Compare the linked KEVM lemmas with the wasm-semantics lemmas file, then inspect the existing commutative-associative cases for duplication or simplification opportunities. Done means equivalent lemmas are consolidated or added where needed and the identified simplifications are covered.
