SIMP_TAC : thm list -> tactic

SYNOPSIS
Simplify a goal repeatedly by conditional contextual rewriting.

DESCRIPTION
When applied to a goal A ?- g, the tactic SIMP_TAC thl returns a new goal A ?- g' where g' results from applying the theorems in thl as (conditional) rewrite rules, as well as built-in simplifications (see basic_rewrites and basic_convs). For more details, see SIMP_CONV.

FAILURE CONDITIONS
Never fails, though may not change the goal if no simplifications are applicable.

COMMENTS
To add the assumptions of the goal to the rewrites, use ASM_SIMP_TAC (or just ASM SIMP_TAC).
