casesm, cases_type, constructorm tactics

These tactics implement repeated cases / constructor on anything satisfying a predicate.

def Lean.MVarId.casesMatching (matcher : Expr → MetaM Bool) (recursive : Bool := false) (allowSplit throwOnNoMatch : Bool := true) (g : MVarId) : MetaM (List MVarId)

Core tactic for casesm and cases_type. Calls cases on all fvars in g for which matcher ldecl.type returns true.

• recursive: if true, it calls itself repeatedly on the resulting subgoals
• allowSplit: if false, it will skip any hypotheses where cases returns more than one subgoal.
• throwOnNoMatch: if true, then throws an error if no match is found

partial def Lean.MVarId.casesMatching.go (matcher : Expr → MetaM Bool) (recursive allowSplit : Bool) (g : MVarId) (acc : Array MVarId := #[]) : MetaM (Array MVarId)

def Mathlib.Tactic.casesM : Lean.ParserDescr

• casesm p applies the cases tactic to a hypothesis h : type if type matches the pattern p.
• casesm p_1, ..., p_n applies the cases tactic to a hypothesis h : type if type matches one of the given patterns.
• casesm* p is a more efficient and compact version of · repeat casesm p. It is more efficient because the pattern is compiled once.
• casesm! p only applies cases if the number of resulting subgoals is <= 1.

Example: The following tactic destructs all conjunctions and disjunctions in the current context.

casesm* _ ∨ _, _ ∧ _

def Mathlib.Tactic.casesm! : Lean.ParserDescr

• casesm p applies the cases tactic to a hypothesis h : type if type matches the pattern p.

def Mathlib.Tactic.constructorM : Lean.ParserDescr

• constructorm p_1, ..., p_n applies the constructor tactic to the main goal if type matches one of the given patterns.
