RATOR_CONVConv.RATOR_CONV : (conv -> conv)
Applies a conversion to the operator of an application.
If c is a conversion that maps a term "t1"
to the theorem |- t1 = t1', then the conversion
RATOR_CONV c maps applications of the form
"t1 t2" to theorems of the form:
|- (t1 t2) = (t1' t2)
That is, RATOR_CONV c "t1 t2" applies c to
the operand of the application "t1 t2".
RATOR_CONV c tm fails if tm is not an
application or if tm has the form "t1 t2" but
the conversion c fails when applied to the term
t1. The function returned by RATOR_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').
