\DOC PART_PMATCH

\TYPE {PART_PMATCH : ((term -> term) -> thm -> term -> thm)}

\SYNOPSIS
Instantiates a theorem by matching part of it to a term.

\KEYWORDS
rule.

\LIBRARY pair

\DESCRIBE
When applied to a `selector' function of type {term -> term}, a theorem and a
term:
{
   PART_MATCH fn (A |- !p1...pn. t) tm
}
\noindent the function {PART_PMATCH} applies {fn} to {t'} (the result
of specializing universally quantified pairs in the conclusion of
the theorem), and attempts to match the resulting term to the argument term
{tm}. If it succeeds, the appropriately instantiated version of the theorem is
returned.

\FAILURE
Fails if the selector function {fn} fails when applied to the instantiated
theorem, or if the match fails with the term it has provided.
