File:            Rewriting

Date:            28/11/90

This file provides an alternative set of rewriting tools.  It is faster
than the old rewriting tools (but marginally slower than the tools in the
Dec 1990 release of HOL).  The difference is in functionality.

* Laws are only instantiated by specialisation of universally quantified
  variables.  (The standard rewrite does an implicit generalisation of
  all the laws.)  This gives an extra degree of control over how rewriting
  is done.

* Difficulties over clashes of bound variables in the term being rewritten
  with free variables in the laws are overcome.

To illustrate the first point:

Suppose we have the goal

  "x+(a+y)=0"

SEL_REWRITE_TAC [SPEC "a:num" ADD_SYM]
results in the goal

  "x+(y+a)=0"

(rather than diverging which REWRITE_TAC [SPEC "a:num" ADD_SYM] would do).

To illustrate the second point:

Suppose we have a goal

"!x. f x = 1+1"
    [ "1+1 = 2" ]
    [ "f x = x" ]

The ASM_REWRITE_TAC [] fails to do anything, because it rewrites "f x" to
"x" when dealing with the term "f x = 1 + 1".  This results in failure due
to a clash with the universal quantifier "x" which throws the baby out with
the bathwater, i.e. throwing away the legitimate rewrite of 1+1 to 2 as
well.

Also

"!x. f u = x+1"
    ["u = x+1"]

fails when rewriting with ASM_REWRITE_TAC [].  This is again due to clashes
of the free variable "x" in the law with the bound variable "x" of the term
when the rewrite is attempted.  The rewrites in this file rewrite this to:

"!x'. f (x+1) = x'+1"
    ["u = x+1"]

In the interests of speed, some compromise has been made on what the
results look like.  Some bound variables are rewritten to new variants,
even when no laws are used which forces this to happen.  E.g.

"!x y y. u"
   ["u = x"]

will rewrite (using a "PURE" rewrite) not to "!x' y y. x" but "!x' y y'. x"
with the second occurence of "y" being unexpectedly primed.  Also, in the
first example above, the result of the rewrite is "!x'. f x' = 2", even
though there is no occurence of "x" in the resultant term, rather than the
expected "!x. f x = 2".  (This is because rewriting of bound variables is
done if even the mere possibility of a clash with free variables in the
laws is detected.)

%

A new version of ALPHA_CONV is provided below.  This is because
ALPHA_CONV "x':num" "\x y y. x+y" =
   |- (\x y y'. x + y') = (\x' y y'. x' + y')
rather than
   |- (\x y y. x + y) = (\x' y y'. x' + y')
which, even though it does unnecessary priming on the rhs, at least keeps
the lhs the same as the argument term.

let thm' = BETA_CONV (mk_comb((mk_abs(x,rhs (concl thm)),x))) in

The fr parameter is the list of free variables in the laws used for
rewriting.
