PURE_SIMP_CONV : thm list -> conv

SYNOPSIS
Simplify a term repeatedly by conditional contextual rewriting, not using default simplifications.

DESCRIPTION
A call SIMP_CONV thl tm will return |- tm = tm' where tm' results from applying the theorems in thl as (conditional) rewrite rules. This is similar to SIMP_CONV, and the documentation for that contains more details. The PURE prefix means that the usual built-in simplifications (see basic_rewrites and basic_convs) are not applied.

FAILURE CONDITIONS
Never fails, but may return a reflexive theorem |- tm = tm if no simplifications can be made.
