(** * LibTactics: A Collection of Handy General-Purpose Tactics *)

(* $Date: 2010-10-14 12:27:18 -0400 (Thu, 14 Oct 2010) $ *)
(* Chapter maintained by Arthur Chargueraud *)

(** This file contains a set of tactics that extends the set of builtin
    tactics provided with the standard distribution of Coq. It intends
    to overcome a number of limitations of the standard set of tactics,
    and thereby to help user to write shorter and more robust scripts. 
  
    Hopefully, Coq tactics will be improved as time goes by, and this
    file should ultimately be useless. In the meanwhile, serious Coq
    users will probably find it very useful.

    The present file contains the implementation and the detailed
    documentation of those tactics. The SF reader need not read this
    file; instead, he/she is encouraged to read the chapter named
    UseTactics.v, which is gentle introduction to the most useful
    tactics from the LibTactic library. *)

(** The main features offered are:
  - More convenient syntax for naming hypotheses, with tactics for
    introduction and inversion that take as input only the name of
    hypotheses of type [Prop], rather than the name of all variables. 
  - Tactics providing true support for manipulating N-ary conjunctions, 
    disjunctions and existentials, hidding the fact that the underlying 
    implementation is based on binary predicates.
  - Convenient support for automation: tactic followed with the symbol
    "~" or "*" will call automation on the generated subgoals.  
    Symbol "~" stands for [auto] and "*" for [intuition eauto].
    These bindings can be customized.
  - Forward-chaining tactics are provided to instantiate lemmas
    either with variable or hypotheses or a mix of both.
  - A more powerful implementation of [apply] is provided (it is based
    on [refine] and thus behaves better with respect to conversion).
  - An improved inversion tactic which substitutes equalities on variables
    generated by the standard inversion mecanism. Moreover, it supports
    the elimination of dependently-typed equalities (requires axiom [K],
    which is a weak form of Proof Irrelevance).
  - Tactics for saving time when writing proofs, with tactics to
    asserts hypotheses or sub-goals, and improved tactics for
    clearing, renaming, and sorting hypotheses.

(* ---------------------------------------------------------------------- *)
(** ** Instantiation and forward-chaining *)

(** The instantiation tactics are used to instantiate a lemma [E]
    (whose type is a product) on some arguments. The type of [E] is
    made of implications and universal quantifications, e.g.
    [forall x, P x -> forall y z, Q x y z -> R z].
    
    The first possibility is to provide arguments in order: first [x],
    then a proof of [P x], then [y] etc... In this mode, called "Args",
    all the arguments are to be provided. If a wildcard is provided
    (written [__]), then an existential variable will be introduced in
    place of the argument.

    It often saves a lot of time to give only the dependent variables,
    (here [x], [y] and [z]), and have the hypotheses generated as 
    subgoals. In this "Vars" mode, only variables are to be provided. 
    For instance, lemma [E] applied to [3] and [4] is a term
    of type [forall z, Q 3 4 z -> R z], and [P 3] is a new subgoal.
    It is possible to use wildcards to introduce existential variables.

    However, there are situations where some of the hypotheses already
    exists, and it saves time to instantiate the lemma [E] using the 
    hypotheses. For instance, suppose [F] is a term of type [P 2]. 
    Then the application of [E] to [F] in this "Hyps" mode is a term of type
    [forall y z, Q 2 y z -> R z]. Each wildcard use
    will generate an assertion instead, for instance if [G] has type
    [Q 2 3 4], then the application of [E] to a wildcard and to [G] 
    in mode-h is a term of type [R 4], and [P 2] is a new subgoal.

    It is very convenient to give some arguments the lemma should be
    instantiated on, and let the tactic find out automatically where
    underscores should be insterted. Underscore arguments [__] are
    interpret as follows: an underscore means that we want to skip the
    argument that has the same type as the next real argument provided
    (real means not an underscore). If there is no real argument after 
    underscore, then the underscore is used for the first possible argument.
   
    The general syntax is [tactic (>> E1 .. EN)] where [tactic] is
    the name of the tactic (possibly with some arguments) and [Ei]
    are the arguments. Moreover, some tactics accept the syntax
    [tactic E1 .. EN] as short for [tactic (>>Hnts E1 .. EN)] for
    values of [N] up to 5.

    Finally, if the argument [EN] given is a triple-underscore [___],
    then it is equivalent to providing a list of wildcards, with
    the appropriate number of wildcards. This means that all
    the remaining arguments of the lemma will be instantiated. *)

(* ********************************************************************** *)
(** * Tactics for development purposes *)

(* ---------------------------------------------------------------------- *)
(** ** Skipping subgoals *)

(** The [skip] tactic can be used at any time to admit the current
    goal. Using [skip] is much more efficient than using the [Focus] 
    top-level command to reach a particular subgoal. 

    There are two possible implementations of [skip]. The first one 
    relies on the use of an existential variable. The second one 
    relies on an axiom of type [False]. Remark that the builtin tactic
    [admit] is not applicable if the current goal contains uninstantiated
    variables.
  
    The advantage of the first technique is that a proof using [skip]
    must end with [Admitted], since [Qed] will be rejected with the message
    "[uninstantiated existential variables]". It is thereafter clear 
    that the development is incomplete.
    
    The advantage of the second technique is exactly the converse: one 
    may conclude the proof using [Qed], and thus one saves the pain from
    renaming [Qed] into [Admitted] and vice-versa all the time.
    Note however, that it is still necessary to instantiate all the existential
    variables introduced by other tactics in order for [Qed] to be accepted.

    The two implementation are provided, so that you can select the one that
    suits you best. By default [skip'] uses the first implementation, and 
    [skip] uses the second implementation.

    are other possible syntax.
