Topic: Is there a variant of `simp` that handles reverse simps?
Abhimanyu Pallavi Sudhir (Nov 18 2018 at 00:41):
Is there a variant of simp so I can write things like simp [←P, Q] or simp only [←P, Q] where P and Q may or may not be simp lemmas?
Kenny Lau (Nov 18 2018 at 00:42):
nope. you need to do P.symm
Mario Carneiro (Nov 18 2018 at 00:43):
and you alsso need to remove P if it is a simp lemma or it will go into a loop
Chris Hughes (Nov 18 2018 at 01:03):
remove P, means do simp [P.symm, -P]
Mario Carneiro (Nov 18 2018 at 01:20):
maybe we should write simp'? I'm sure this isn't the last tweak we will want
