\DOC NOT_ELIM

\TYPE {NOT_ELIM : thm -> thm}

\SYNOPSIS
Transforms {|- ~t} into {|- t ==> F}.

\KEYWORDS
rule, implication, negation.

\DESCRIBE
When applied to a theorem {A |- ~t}, the inference rule {NOT_ELIM} returns the
theorem {A |- t ==> F}.
{
      A |- ~t
   --------------  NOT_ELIM
    A |- t ==> F
}

\FAILURE
Fails unless the theorem has a negated conclusion.

\EXAMPLE
{
  # let th = UNDISCH(TAUT `p ==> ~ ~p`);;
  val th : thm = p |- ~ ~p

  # NOT_ELIM th;;
  val it : thm = p |- ~p ==> F
}
