(** ** 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. *)
