SYNOPSIS
Applies CONSEQ_REWRITE_CONV interleaved with conversions and rewrites.
DESCRIPTION
CONSEQ_REWRITE_CONV often results in theorems of the following form
   |- (!x. T) /\ (T /\ (T /\ T)) /\ (\x. P) y /\ T ==>
      something
The problem is that CONSEQ_REWRITE_CONV applies consequence conversions, but no normal convs or simplifications. This is changed by EXT_CONSEQ_REWRITE_CONV. EXT_CONSEQ_REWRITE_CONV gets a list of conversions and a list of rewrite theorems. Moreover there are the parameters of CONSEQ_REWRITE_CONV. It then applies these conversions (e.g. DEPTH_CONV BETA_CONV) and a REWRITE_CONV with the given theorem list interleaved with CONSEQ_REWRITE_CONV. As a result the theorem above might look now like
   |- P y ==> something
