Advice on the use of arithmetic books (based largely on comments from
Robert Krug, and repeated in ../arithmetic-5/README):
SUMMARY: Power users should include arithmetic-5/top; new users
should probably instead include arithmetic/top-with-meta.
Details:
If you are willing to use dmr (see :doc dmr) and tolerate
sometimes-slower (but more complete) reasoning, use arithmetic-5.
Robert is not aware of any rewriting loops.
Don't use arithmetic-3. It's not as powerful as arithmetic-5
(Robert doesn't know if it's faster), and it may have more rewriting
loops than arithmetic-5.
Note that arithmetic-2 is totally obsolete. We may stop
distributing it.
If you want fast, lightweight arithmetic, use
arithmetic/top-with-meta.
