basic_ss : thm list -> simpset

SYNOPSIS
Construct a straightforward simpset from a list of theorems.

DESCRIPTION
In their maximal generality, simplification operations in HOL Light (as invoked by SIMP_TAC) are controlled by a `simpset'. A call basic_ss thl gives a straightforward simpset used by the default simplifier instances like SIMP_TAC, which has the given theorems as well as the basic rewrites and conversions, and no other provers.

FAILURE CONDITIONS
Never fails.
