comment Good metric on $C^k(0,1)$ and $C^\infty(0,1)$
It is important to you that the interval your functions live on is open, right? If it would be closed like in $C^k([0,1])$, you could get a norm on this space that even makes it a Banach space. (And every norm induces a metric). That would be a rather good metric on $C^k([0,1])$ in my opinion. I don't know about the $C^{\infty}$-case though...

Okay, thank you! Makes me kind of sad, though... ;)

Of course - didn't see that until now. That might prove a problem... :)

comment Do we really need Hahn-Banach that much?
Since every $x\in X$ can be written uniquely as $x=y+c$ for $y\in Y$ and $c\in C$, we have $\|y'(x)\|=\|y'(y)\|\le \operatorname{sup}_Y$, so $\operatorname{sup}_X\le \operatorname{sup}_Y$.

Thank you for pointing me to the problem. But isn't there a simpler counterexample? :)

Of coarse! Thank you :)
