REPLICATE_TAC : int -> tactic -> tactic

SYNOPSIS
Apply a tactic a specific number of times.

DESCRIPTION
The call REPLICATE n tac gives a new tactic that it equivalent to an n-fold repetition of tac, i.e. tac THEN tac THEN ... THEN tac.

FAILURE CONDITIONS
The call REPLICATE n tac never fails, but when applied to a goal it will fail if the tactic does.

EXAMPLE
We might conceivably want to strip off exactly three universal quantifiers from a goal that contains more than three. We can use REPLICATE_TAC 3 GEN_TAC to do that.

SEE ALSO
EVERY, MAP_EVERY, THEN.
