* MW: exception TYPE raised by Skip_Proof.make_thm, see

* Eliminate Thy_Info.get_theory eventually: should take theory from ancestory

  within current context.

    cf. e587c45cae0f note in Build_Thydata.thy

* Clarify symmetric rule: Thm.apply_attribute Calculation.symmetric thm context (!?);

    ??

* KEStore_Elems: Should we eliminate union_overwrite and use standard namespace merge?

  (Exception: rlss with its special cross-theory merge.)

    ? how adapt the different signatures ?

    union_overwrite: ('a * 'a -> bool) -> 'a list -> 'a list -> 'a list

    merge          : ('a * 'a -> bool) -> 'a list * 'a list -> 'a list

* What is the purpose of "#numeral" instead of plain numeral?

    ??

* Check/clarify Context.theory_name vs. Context.theory_long_name.

    present ISAC assumes 2 sessions in the MathEngine, Specify and Interpret, 

    and all Isac_Knowledge is in session Isac.

    So Context.theory_name suffices

* Eliminate mutable Rewrite_Ord.rew_ord' (!?);

    shall be done in connection with cf. e587c45cae0f note in Build_Thydata.thy

* What is the idea behind KEStore_Elems.add_thes? How to do it properly in current Isabelle?

    https://static.miraheze.org/isacwiki/0/04/Isac-docu.pdf distinguishes 

    several kinds of ISAC users, in particular "math author (Mathematik-Autor)" and

    "course designer (Kurs-Designer)". The latter just adds examples which re-use existing

    knowledge designed by the former. KEStore_Elems.add_thes is an interface for the latter.   

* WN: proper ML antiquotations for "Tactical.Try" etc. --- be careful about unclear situations,

  e.g. "Tactical.Try" vs. "Lucas_Interpreter.Try";

* WN: Avoid Thm.get_name_hint and use Global_Theory.get_thm instead, get theory from References.T

    and push theory through as argument of respective functions.

* WN: more direct logical foundations wrt. Isabelle/HOL, eliminate many axiomatizations

    - quite often "axiomatization ..." can be turned into "lemma ... by auto"

      without further ado;

    - sometimes this requires to use more specific types / type classes;

    - sometimes this requires to use proper definitional mechanisms (e.g. 'primrec', 'fun');

    - a few "hard" cases will remain, to be reconsidered eventually (e.g. differentiation);

* WN: eliminate ThmC.numerals_to_Free, check tests marked TOODOO.1

  + ? how do algebraic operations on numerals ? Presburger ? simplifier ? hack see

    https://hg.risc.uni-linz.ac.at/wneuper/isa/file/a14022b99b92/src/Tools/isac/ProgLang/evaluate.sml#l210

* WN: "fun pr_ord" is not required if used with @{make_string}, @{print}, @{print tracing};

    takes only static arguments ----------------^^^^^^^^^^^^^^, not value of "hd_ord (f, g)"

    ? are there better approximations to old output of (*1*) than with (*2*)

    (*1*)val _ = tracing ("hd_ord (f, g)      = " ^ ((pr_ord o hd_ord) (f, g)) );

    (*2*)val _ = @{print tracing}{a = "hd_ord (f, g)      = ", z = hd_ord (f, g)}(**)

* WN: reduce the number of TermC.parse*;

  + 0d22a6bf1fc6 was too much for 1 changeset

  + first parse with ctxt in Specify (O_Model.init shall return a context,..) etc

* WN: eliminate global flags like "trace_on", replace Unsynchronized.ref by
