LAND_CONV : conv -> conv
STRUCTURE
SYNOPSIS
Applies a conversion to the left-hand argument of a binary operator.
DESCRIPTION
If c is a conversion that maps a term t1 to the theorem |- t1 = t1', then the conversion LAND_CONV c maps applications of the form f t1 t2 to theorems of the form:
   |- f t1 t2 = f t1' t2

FAILURE
LAND_CONV c tm fails if tm is not an application where the rator of the application is in turn another application, as f t1 t2, or if tm has this form but the conversion c fails when applied to the term t1. The function returned by LAND_CONV c may also fail if the ML function c:term->thm is not, in fact, a conversion (i.e. a function that maps a term t to a theorem |- t = t').
EXAMPLE
- LAND_CONV REDUCE_CONV (Term`(3 + 5) * 7`);
> val it = |- (3 + 5) * 7 = 8 * 7 : thm
