type_rws : string -> thm list
STRUCTURE
SYNOPSIS
List rewrites for a concrete type.
DESCRIPTION
An application type_rws s, where s is the name of a declared datatype, returns a list of rewrite rules corresponding to the types. The list typically contains theorems about the distinctness and injectivity of constructors, the definition of the ’case’ constant introduced at the time the type was defined, and any extra rewrites coming from the use of records.
FAILURE
If s is not the name of a declared datatype.
EXAMPLE
- type_rws "list";

> val it =
    [|- (!v f. case v f [] = v) /\ !v f a0 a1. case v f (a0::a1) = f a0 a1,
     |- !a1 a0. ~([] = a0::a1),
     |- !a1 a0. ~(a0::a1 = []),
     |- !a0 a1 a0' a1'. (a0::a1 = a0'::a1') = (a0 = a0') /\ (a1 = a1')]

- type_rws "point";
> val it =

     |- (!p f. (p with y updated_by f).x = p.x) /\

COMMENTS
RW_TAC and SRW_TAC automatically include these rewrites.
