 We generalize this conjecture, replacing (APPEND X2 X2) by BAD.  This
 produces

; The following example is for advanced users of computed hints, and assumes an
; understanding of documentation topic hints-and-the-waterfall.

; Below we find two versions of nonlinearp-default-hint.  The first is from
; books/arithmetic-5/lib/basic-ops/default-hint.lisp, with the comment slightly
; modified.  The second is the result of removing a test and winding up with an
; infinite loop.

; For each version, we attempt to prove a trivial theorem that requires
; induction.  The first attempt succeeds, while the second fails.  In fact, we
; impose a time limit because the second attempt goes into an infinite loop.

; We explain this example by first explaining what the two versions of
; nonlinearp-default-hint have in common.  Each is a function that can generate
; a computed hint in either of the following two situations:

; (A) If the goal is stable under simplification -- i.e., if the goal or an
;     ancestor of it has passed through the simplifier without being changed --
;     then assuming nonlinear arithmetic is currently off, a computed hint is
;     generated that turns on nonlinear arithmetic for the current goal and all
;     its descendents, at least until another hint turns nonlinear arithmetic
;     off.

; (B) If we are at the top of the waterfall, nonlinear arithmetic is currently
;     enabled, and at least one proof process has applied to the current goal
;     or an ancestor of it, then a computed hint MAY BE generated that turns
;     off nonlinear arithmetic.

; In (B), "MAY BE" can be replaced by "is" for the second version of
; nonlinearp-default-hint, which is the one that can cause an infinite loop.
; The first version of nonlinearp-default-hint restricts (B) by refusing to
; generate a computed hint if the most recently applied proof process is the
; "settled down" process.  As we now explain, this refusal is what prevents an
; infinite loop.

; Consider the second version of nonlinearp-default-hint below, in which the
; clause is allowed to have just settled down when generating a hint that
; re-disables nonlinear arithmetic.  The following sequence occurs.

; (1) The initial goal for theorem TEST1 passes unchanged through the
;     simplification process (induction is the first successful proof
;     activity).  Thus the "settled-down" proof process hits, sending the goal
;     back to the top of the waterfall.

; (2) The goal passes through the waterfall, again passing through the
;     simplifier unchanged.  This time it then passes through the
;     "settled-down" process without hitting, since it had already settled
;     down.  So it reaches the point where we look for a computed hint to
;     select with variable STABLE-UNDER-SIMPLIFICATIONP bound to T.
;     Nonlinearp-default-hint generates a computed hint to turn on nonlinear
;     arithmetic (situation (A) above) and sends the goal back to the top of
;     the waterfall, with this hint as the selected hint.

;     NOTE: the history of the goal is modified to remove the indication that
;     it has settled down.  Quoting from :doc hints-and-the-waterfall, about
;     computed hints being selected in the case that
;     STABLE-UNDER-SIMPLIFICATIONP is T:

;       A subtlety is that in this case, if the most recent hit had been from
;       settling down, then the prover ``changes its mind'' and considers that
;       the goal has not yet settled down after all as it continues through the
;       waterfall.

; (3) The hint is applied to enable nonlinear arithmetic, and the goal passes
;     through the waterfall.  Because its history says that it has not yet
;     reached the point of settling down (see the "NOTE" in (2) above), the
;     "settled-down" proof process hits, sending the goal back to the top of
;     the waterfall.

; (4) In the search for an applicable hint, we are in situation (B) above and
;     hence the nonlinearp-default-hint applies to disable nonlinear
;     arithmetic.  (Remember, we are considering the second version of
;     nonlinearp-default-hint below, which does not consider settling down.)
;     Then the goal passes through the waterfall, and exactly as in (2) above,
;     situation (A) above applies, so nonlinearp-default-hint generates a
;     computed hint to turn on nonlinear arithmetic and sends the goal back to
;     the top of the waterfall, with this hint as the selected hint.

; We now have a loop (3), (4), (3), (4), (3), (4), ....  So why does the first
; version of nonlinearp-default-hint break this loop?  At the start of (4),
; situation (B) no longer applies because the goal has just settled down from
; (3), and hence the first (most recent) element of the history is a
; 'SETTLED-DOWN-CLAUSE entry.  Indeed, we can see that the proof of TEST1 in
; the first encapsulate form below generates a comment that "We now enable
; non-linear arithmetic" but no such comment about disabling.
