Indeed, f in C(omega_1 + omega_0, R) is not eventually constant.
If eta has finite cofinality, then any f in C(eta,R) is eventaully
constant, namely from the last element of eta onward. That however
isn't the full story for if f in C(omega_1 + 1, R), then f is
constant from some xi < omega_1 and not just from the last element.
If eta has denumberable cofinality, does this work to show
f in C(eta,R) is eventually constant?
Let (aj)_j be an increaing sequence within eta with denumberable
cofinality. Let K = { aj + 1 | j in N }.
Then f(eta\K) = {0}, f(aj) = j, j in N is in C(eta,R)
and isn't eventually constant.
What happens went the cofinality of eta is uncountable?
Is f in C(eta,R) eventually constant?
