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

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

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

   575 
   576   There are rulesets visible to the student, and there are rulesets visible (in general) only for
   577   math authors. There are also rulesets which {\em must} exist for {\em each} theory;
   578   these contain the identifier of the respective theory (including all capital letters)

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

   638   This is how Sledgehammer approximates this:
   639   
   640   http://isabelle.in.tum.de/repos/isabelle/file/Isabelle2018/src/HOL/Tools/Sledgehammer/sledgehammer_isar_proof.ML#l299
   641   
   642   (The module name already shows that the proper terminology is "Isar
   643   proof" (or "Isar proof text").  Proof scripts are a thing from the past,
   644   before Isar. You can emulate old-style proof scripts via a sequence of
   645   'apply' commands, but this is improper Isar.)
   646   
   647   Note that there is no standard function in Isabelle/Pure, because the
   648   problem to print just the right amount of type information is very
   649   complex and not fully solved. One day, after 1 or 2 rounds of
   650   refinements over the above approach, it might become generally available.
