extend_basic_rewrites : thm list -> unit

SYNOPSIS
Extend the set of default rewrites used by rewriting and simplification.

DESCRIPTION
The HOL Light rewriter (REWRITE_TAC etc.) and simplifier (SIMP_TAC etc.) have default sets of (conditional) equations and other conversions that are applied by default, except in the PURE_ variants. A call to extend_basic_rewrites thl extends the former with the list of theorems thl, so they will thereafter happen by default.

FAILURE CONDITIONS
Never fails.
