nit: Add caveat to rule 2. `λx.c = Kc` (#4267)
See this math stackexchange Q/A for the reason why this caveat is important: https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/4304294/rules-for-converting-lambda-calculus-expressions-to-ski-combinator-calculus-expr.
(There may be other clearer ways of wording the caveat. It is also not necessary that the caveat be shown inline with the rules; an alternative is to use a footnote or to make a note below the rules.)
