\DOC is_iff

\TYPE {is_iff : term -> bool}

\SYNOPSIS
Tests if a term is an equation between Boolean terms (iff / logical
equivalence).

\DESCRIBE
Recall that in HOL, the Boolean operation variously called logical equivalence,
bi-implication or `if and only if' (iff) is simply the equality relation on
Boolean type. The call {is_iff t} returns {true} if {t} is an equality between
terms of Boolean type, and {false} otherwise.

\FAILURE
Never fails.

\EXAMPLE
{
  # is_iff `p = T`;;
  val it : bool = true

  # is_iff `p <=> q`;;
  val it : bool = true

  # is_iff `0 = 1`;;
  val it : bool = false
}
