    1.15 -* The representation of numerals has changed. We now have a datatype
    1.16 -"num" representing strictly positive binary numerals, along with
    1.17 -functions "numeral :: num => 'a" and "neg_numeral :: num => 'a" to
    1.18 -represent positive and negated numeric literals, respectively. (See
    1.19 -definitions in Num.thy.) Potential INCOMPATIBILITY; some user theories
    1.20 -may require adaptations:
    1.21 -
    1.22 -  - Theorems with number_ring or number_semiring constraints: These
    1.23 -    classes are gone; use comm_ring_1 or comm_semiring_1 instead.
    1.24 -
    1.25 -  - Theories defining numeric types: Remove number, number_semiring,
    1.26 -    and number_ring instances. Defer all theorems about numerals until
    1.27 -    after classes one and semigroup_add have been instantiated.
    1.28 -
    1.29 -  - Numeral-only simp rules: Replace each rule having a "number_of v"
    1.30 -    pattern with two copies, one for numeral and one for neg_numeral.
    1.31 -
    1.32 -  - Theorems about subclasses of semiring_1 or ring_1: These classes
    1.33 -    automatically support numerals now, so more simp rules and
    1.34 -    simprocs may now apply within the proof.
