The apply_fun tactic.

Apply a function to an equality or inequality in either a local hypothesis or the goal.

Porting notes

When the mono tactic has been ported we can attempt to automatically discharge Monotone f goals.

def Mathlib.Tactic.maybeProveInjective (ginj : Lean.Expr) (using? : Option Lean.Expr) : Lean.MetaM Bool

def Mathlib.Tactic.applyFunTarget (f : Lean.Term) (using? : Option Lean.Term) (g : Lean.MVarId) : Lean.Elab.Tactic.TacticM (List Lean.MVarId)

Apply a function to the main goal.

def Mathlib.Tactic.applyFun : Lean.ParserDescr

Apply a function to an equality or inequality in either a local hypothesis or the goal.

• If we have h : a = b, then apply_fun f at h will replace this with h : f a = f b.
• If we have h : a ≤ b, then apply_fun f at h will replace this with h : f a ≤ f b, and create a subsidiary goal Monotone f. apply_fun will automatically attempt to discharge this subsidiary goal using mono, or an explicit solution can be provided with apply_fun f at h using P, where P : Monotone f.
• If we have h : a < b, then apply_fun f at h will replace this with h : f a < f b, and create a subsidiary goal StrictMono f and behaves as in the previous case.
• If we have h : a ≠ b, then apply_fun f at h will replace this with h : f a ≠ f b, and create a subsidiary goal Injective f and behaves as in the previous two cases.
• If the goal is a ≠ b, apply_fun f will replace this with f a ≠ f b.
• If the goal is a = b, apply_fun f will replace this with f a = f b, and create a subsidiary goal injective f. apply_fun will automatically attempt to discharge this subsidiary goal using local hypotheses, or if f is actually an Equiv, or an explicit solution can be provided with apply_fun f using P, where P : Injective f.
• If the goal is a ≤ b (or similarly for a < b), and f is actually an OrderIso, apply_fun f will replace the goal with f a ≤ f b. If f is anything else (e.g. just a function, or an Equiv), apply_fun will fail.

Typical usage is:

open Function

example (X Y Z : Type) (f : X → Y) (g : Y → Z) (H : Injective <| g ∘ f) :
    Injective f := by
  intros x x' h
  apply_fun g at h
  exact H h

The function f is handled similarly to how it would be handled by refine in that f can contain placeholders. Named placeholders (like ?a or ?_) will produce new goals.
