   542 text \<open>Naming is particularily crucial, because Isabelles name space is global, and isac does

   545   problem hierarchies key, (3) as a socalled CAS-command, (4) as the name of a related script etc.
   546   However, all the cases (1)..(4) require different typing for one and the same
   547   identifier {\tt probe} which is impossible, and actually leads to strange errors

   555     must not contain underscores, e.g. {\tt Probe, forPolynomials}.
   556   \item [CAS-commands] follow the same rules as descriptions in problem-patterns above, thus
   557     beware of conflicts~!

   567 
   568   There are rulesets visible to the student, and there are rulesets visible (in general) only for
   569   math authors. There are also rulesets which {\em must} exist for {\em each} theory;
   570   these contain the identifier of the respective theory (including all capital letters)

   576     (and the respective parents).
   577   \item [simplify\_{\it Thy}] exists for each theory, and calculates a normalform for all terms
   578     which can be expressed by the definitions of the respective theory (and the respective parents)
   579     such, that the rewrites can be presented to the student.
   580   \item [calculate\_{\it Thy}] exists for each theory, and evaluates terms with 
   581     numerical constants only (i.e. all terms which can be expressed by the definitions of
   582     the respective theory and the respective parent theories). In particular, this ruleset includes
   583     evaluating in/equalities with numerical constants only.
   584     WN.3.7.03: may be dropped due to more generality: numericals and non-numericals
   585     are logically equivalent, where the latter often add to the assumptions

   630   This is how Sledgehammer approximates this:
   631   
   632   http://isabelle.in.tum.de/repos/isabelle/file/Isabelle2018/src/HOL/Tools/Sledgehammer/sledgehammer_isar_proof.ML#l299
   633   
   634   (The module name already shows that the proper terminology is "Isar
   635   proof" (or "Isar proof text").  Proof scripts are a thing from the past,
   636   before Isar. You can emulate old-style proof scripts via a sequence of
   637   'apply' commands, but this is improper Isar.)
   638   
   639   Note that there is no standard function in Isabelle/Pure, because the
   640   problem to print just the right amount of type information is very
   641   complex and not fully solved. One day, after 1 or 2 rounds of
   642   refinements over the above approach, it might become generally available.
