Research direction

The issue only identifies the lambda-explorer tutorial and REPL as the affected area; no files or tests are named. Start by locating the syntax and evaluation entry points, then determine the intended substitution notation and teaching behavior before defining completion criteria.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

As a teaching tool, I feel like substitutions are extremely necessary in order to understand the lambda calculus. This doesn't cover them at all.

We should make that not the case.
