SIMP_RULE : thm list -> thm -> thm

SYNOPSIS
Simplify conclusion of a theorem repeatedly by conditional contextual rewriting.

DESCRIPTION
A call SIMP_CONV thl (|- tm) will return |- tm' where tm' 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 on this kind of conditional rewriting, see SIMP_CONV.

FAILURE CONDITIONS
Never fails, but may return the input theorem unchanged if no simplifications were applicable.
