PURE_REWRITE_CONV : (thm list -> conv)

SYNOPSIS
Rewrites a term with only the given list of rewrites.

DESCRIBE
This conversion provides a method for rewriting a term with the theorems given, and excluding simplification with tautologies in basic_rewrites. Matching subterms are found recursively, until no more matches are found. For more details on rewriting see GEN_REWRITE_CONV.

USES
PURE_REWRITE_CONV is useful when the simplifications that arise by rewriting a theorem with basic_rewrites are not wanted.

FAILURE
Does not fail. May result in divergence, in which case PURE_ONCE_REWRITE_CONV can be used.
