\DOC dest_binary

\TYPE {dest_binary : string -> term -> term * term}

\SYNOPSIS
Breaks apart an instance of a binary operator with given name.

\DESCRIBE
The call {dest_binary s tm} will, if {tm} is a binary operator application
{(op l) r} where {op} is a constant with name {s}, return the two arguments to
which it is applied as a pair {l,r}. Otherwise, it fails. Note that {op} is
required to be a constant.

\FAILURE
Never fails.

\EXAMPLE
This one succeeds:
{
  # dest_binary "+" `1 + 2`;;
  val it : term * term = (`1`, `2`)
}
