<h3>ACL2-PC::PROMOTE</h3>(primitive)
<code>   </code>move antecedents of conclusion's <code>implies</code> term to top-level
<code>   </code>hypotheses
<pre>Major Section:  <a href="PROOF-CHECKER-COMMANDS.html">PROOF-CHECKER-COMMANDS</a>
</pre><p>


<pre>
Examples:
promote
(promote t)
</pre>

For example, if the conclusion is <code>(implies (and x y) z)</code>, then
after execution of <code>promote</code>, the conclusion will be <code>z</code> and the terms <code>x</code>
and <code>y</code> will be new top-level hypotheses.
<p>

<pre>
General Form:
(promote &amp;optional do-not-flatten-flag)
</pre>

Replace conclusion of <code>(implies hyps exp)</code> or <code>(if hyps exp t)</code> with
simply <code>exp</code>, adding <code>hyps</code> to the list of top-level hypotheses.
Moreover, if <code>hyps</code> is viewed as a conjunction then each conjunct will
be added as a separate top-level hypothesis.  An exception is that
if <code>do-not-flatten-flag</code> is supplied and not <code>nil</code>, then only one
top-level hypothesis will be added, namely <code>hyps</code>.<p>

<strong>Note</strong>:  You must be at the top of the conclusion in order to use this
command.  Otherwise, first invoke <code>top</code>.
