Term pattern matching utility.
Instead of writing monstrosities such as
@{verbatim ‹
case t of
Const ("Pure.imp", _) $
P $
Const (@{const_name Trueprop}, _) $
(Const ("HOL.eq", _) $
(Const (@{const_name "my_func"}, _) $ x) $ y)
=> (P, x, y)
›}
simply use a term pattern with variables:
@{verbatim ‹
case t of
@{term_pat "PROP ?P ⟹ my_func ?x = ?y"} => (P, x, y)
›}
Each ‹term_pat› generates an ML pattern that can be used in any
case-expression or name binding.
The ML pattern matches directly on the term datatype; it does not
perform matching in the Isabelle logic.
Schematic variables in the pattern generate ML variables.
The variables must obey ML's pattern matching rules, i.e.
each can appear only once.
Due to the difficulty of enforcing this rule for type variables,
schematic type variables are ignored and not checked.
