SELECT_LT : tactic -> list_tactic
STRUCTURE
Tactical
SYNOPSIS
Applies a tactic to the all the goals in the goal-list for which the tactic succeeds.
DESCRIPTION
Given a list of goals gl, an application of SELECT_LT tac to gl will try to apply tac to each goal in gl in turn. If no goal lets tac succeed, the goal state remains unchanged. Otherwise, the goals for which tac succeeds will generate (possibly empty) list(s) of new sub-goals. These new sub-goals are pushed onto the front of the rest of gl.
FAILURE
The application of SELECT_LT to a tactic never fails. The resulting list-tactic also never fails.
EXAMPLE
> SELECT_LT CONJ_TAC [([], “r ∧ s”), ([], “p ⇒ q”), ([“a ∨ b”], “p ∧ q”)]
val it =
  ([([], “r”), ([], “s”), ([“a ∨ b”], “p”), ([“a ∨ b”], “q”), ([], “p ⇒ q”)], fn):
  goal list * list_validation
