\DOC ASM_CASES_TAC

\TYPE {ASM_CASES_TAC : term -> tactic}

\SYNOPSIS
Given a term, produces a case split based on whether or not that
term is true.

\KEYWORDS
tactic, cases.

\DESCRIBE
Given a term {u}, {ASM_CASES_TAC} applied to a goal produces two
subgoals, one with {u} as an assumption and one with {~u}:
{
               A ?-  t
   ================================  ASM_CASES_TAC `u`
    A u {{u}} ?- t   A u {{~u}} ?- t
}

\FAILURE
Fails if {u} does not have boolean type.

\EXAMPLE
The tactic {ASM_CASES_TAC `&0 <= u`} can be used to produce a case analysis
on {`&0 <= u`}:
{
  # g `&0 <= (u:real) pow 2`;;
  Warning: Free variables in goal: u
  val it : goalstack = 1 subgoal (1 total)

  `&0 <= u pow 2`

  # e(ASM_CASES_TAC `&0 <= u`);;
  val it : goalstack = 2 subgoals (2 total)

   0 [`~(&0 <= u)`]

  `&0 <= u pow 2`

   0 [`&0 <= u`]

  `&0 <= u pow 2`
}

\USES
Performing a case analysis according to whether a given term is true or false.
