set_basic_rewrites : thm list -> unit

SYNOPSIS
Assign 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 sets this to be the list of theorems thl (after processing into rewrite rules by mk_rewrites).

FAILURE CONDITIONS
Never fails.

COMMENTS
Users will most likely want to extend the existing set by extend_basic_rewrites rather than completely change it like this.
