ONCE_REWRITE_RULE

Rewrite.ONCE_REWRITE_RULE : (thm list -> thm -> thm)

Rewrites a theorem, including built-in tautologies in the list of rewrites.

ONCE_REWRITE_RULE searches for matching subterms and applies rewrites once at each subterm, in the manner specified for ONCE_DEPTH_CONV. The rewrites which are used are obtained from the given list of theorems and the set of tautologies stored in implicit_rewrites. See GEN_REWRITE_RULE for the general method of using theorems to rewrite an object theorem.

Failure

ONCE_REWRITE_RULE does not fail; it does not diverge.

ONCE_REWRITE_RULE can be used to rewrite a theorem when recursive rewriting is not desired.
