  (FIXME: perhaps move somewhere else)

  The point of these examples is to get a feeling what the automatic proofs 
  should do in order to solve all inductive definitions we throw at them. For this 
  it is instructive to look at the general construction principle 
  of inductive definitions, which we shall do in the next section.

text {*
  The inductive package will generate the reasoning infrastructure
  for mutually recursive predicates @{text "pred\<^isub>1\<dots>pred\<^isub>n"}. In what
  follows we will have the convention that various, possibly empty collections of 
  ``things'' are indicated either by adding an @{text "s"} or by adding 
  a superscript @{text [quotes] "\<^isup>*"}. The shorthand for the predicates 
  will therefore be @{text "preds"} or @{text "pred\<^sup>*"}. In the case of the
  predicates there must be, of course, at least a single one in order to obtain a 
  meaningful definition.

  The input for the inductive package will be some @{text "preds"} with possible 
  typing and syntax annotations, and also some introduction rules. We call below the 
  introduction rules short as @{text "rules"}. Borrowing some idealised Isabelle 
  notation, one such @{text "rule"} is assumed to be of the form

  \begin{isabelle}
  @{text "rule ::= 
  \<And>xs. \<^raw:$\underbrace{\mbox{>As\<^raw:}}_{\text{\makebox[0mm]{\rm non-recursive premises}}}$> \<Longrightarrow> 
  \<^raw:$\underbrace{\mbox{>(\<And>ys. Bs \<Longrightarrow> pred ss)\<^isup>*\<^raw:}}_{\text{\rm recursive premises}}$> 
  \<Longrightarrow> pred ts"}
  \end{isabelle}
  
  For the purposes here, we will assume the @{text rules} have
  this format and omit any code that actually tests this. Therefore ``things'' 
  can go horribly wrong, if the @{text "rules"} are not of this
  form.\footnote{FIXME: Exercise to test this format.} The @{text As} and
  @{text Bs} in a @{text "rule"} are formulae not involving the inductive
  predicates @{text "preds"}; the instances @{text "pred ss"} and @{text "pred
  ts"} can stand for different predicates, like @{text "pred\<^isub>1 ss"} and 
  @{text "pred\<^isub>2 ts"}; @{text ss} and @{text ts} are the
  arguments of the predicates. Every formula left of @{text [quotes]
  "\<Longrightarrow> pred ts"} is a premise of the rule. The outermost quantified 
  variables @{text "xs"} are usually omitted in the user's input. The 
  quantification for the variables @{text "ys"} is local with respect to 
  one recursive premise and must be given. Some examples of @{text "rule"}s 
  are

  @{thm [display] fresh_var[no_vars]}

  which has only a single non-recursive premise, whereas

  @{thm [display] evenS[no_vars]}

  has a single recursive premise; the rule

  @{thm [display] accpartI[no_vars]}

  has a recursive premise that has a precondition. As usual all 
  rules are stated without the leading meta-quantification @{text "\<And>xs"}.

  The code of the inductive package falls roughly in tree parts: the first
  deals with the definitions, the second with the induction principles and 
  the third with the introduction rules. 
  
  For the definitions we need to have the @{text rules} in a form where 
  the meta-quantifiers and meta-implications are replaced by their object 
  logic equivalents. Therefore an @{text "orule"} is of the form 

  @{text [display] "orule ::= \<forall>xs. As \<longrightarrow> (\<forall>ys. Bs \<longrightarrow> pred ss)\<^isup>* \<longrightarrow> pred ts"}

  A definition for the predicate @{text "pred"} has then the form

  @{text [display] "def ::= pred \<equiv> \<lambda>zs. \<forall>preds. orules \<longrightarrow> pred zs"}

  The induction principles for every predicate @{text "pred"} are of the
  form

  @{text [display] "ind ::= pred ?zs \<Longrightarrow> rules[preds := ?Ps] \<Longrightarrow> ?P ?zs"}

  where in the @{text "rules"} every @{text pred} is replaced by a fresh
  meta-variable @{text "?P"}.

  In order to derive an induction principle for the predicate @{text "pred"},
  we first transform @{text ind} into the object logic and fix the meta-variables. 
  Hence we have to prove a formula of the form

  @{text [display] "pred zs \<longrightarrow> orules[preds := Ps] \<longrightarrow> P zs"}

  If we assume @{text "pred zs"} and unfold its definition, then we have
  
  @{text [display] "\<forall>preds. orules \<longrightarrow> pred zs"} 

  and must prove

  @{text [display] "orules[preds := Ps] \<longrightarrow> P zs"}

  This can be done by instantiating the @{text "\<forall>preds"}-quantification 
  with the @{text "Ps"}. Then we are done since we are left with a simple 
  identity.
  
  Although the user declares introduction rules @{text rules}, they must 
  be derived from the @{text defs}. These derivations are a bit involved. 
  Assuming we want to prove the introduction rule 

  @{text [display] "\<And>xs. As \<Longrightarrow> (\<And>ys. Bs \<Longrightarrow> pred ss)\<^isup>* \<Longrightarrow> pred ts"}

  then we can assume

  \begin{isabelle}
  (i)~~@{text "As"}\\
  (ii)~@{text "(\<And>ys. Bs \<Longrightarrow> pred ss)\<^isup>*"}
  \end{isabelle}

  and must show

  @{text [display] "pred ts"}
  
  If we now unfold the definitions for the @{text preds}, we have

  \begin{isabelle}
  (i)~~~@{text "As"}\\
  (ii)~~@{text "(\<And>ys. Bs \<Longrightarrow> \<forall>preds. orules \<longrightarrow> pred ss)\<^isup>*"}\\
  (iii)~@{text "orules"}
  \end{isabelle}

  and need to show

  @{text [display] "pred ts"}

  In the last step we removed some quantifiers and moved the precondition @{text "orules"}  
  into the assumtion. The @{text "orules"} stand for all introduction rules that are given 
  by the user. We apply the @{text orule} that corresponds to introduction rule we are 
  proving. This introduction rule must necessarily be of the form 

  @{text [display] "As \<Longrightarrow> (\<And>ys. Bs \<Longrightarrow> pred ss)\<^isup>* \<Longrightarrow> pred ts"}

  When we apply this rule we end up in the goal state where we have to prove

  \begin{isabelle}
  (a)~@{text "As"}\\
  (b)~@{text "(\<And>ys. Bs \<Longrightarrow> pred ss)\<^isup>*"}
  \end{isabelle}

  We can immediately discharge the goals @{text "As"} using the assumption in 
  @{text "(i)"}. The goals in @{text "(b)"} can be discharged as follows: we 
  assume the @{text "Bs"} and prove @{text "pred ss"}. For this we resolve the 
  @{text "Bs"}  with the assumptions in @{text "(ii)"}. This gives us the 
  assumptions

  @{text [display] "(\<forall>preds. orules \<longrightarrow> pred ss)\<^isup>*"}

  Instantiating the universal quantifiers and then resolving with the assumptions 
  in @{text "(iii)"} gives us @{text "pred ss"}, which is the goal we are after.
  This completes the proof for introduction rules.

  What remains is to implement the reasoning outlined above. We do this in
  the next section. For building testcases, we use the shorthands for 
  @{text "even/odd"}, @{term "fresh"} and @{term "accpart"}
  given in Figure~\ref{fig:shorthands}.
