   \item "exception Size raised (line 169 of "./basis/LibrarySupport.sml")"

 remove refactor Rfuns, Rule.Prog, Rule.Empty_Prog, RrlsState: this is a concept never brought to work.

   Clarify relation to reverse rewriting!

   \begin{itemize}

   \item separate mut.recursion program with rule and rls by deleting fild scr in rls

   ` "replace Prog. in prep_rls by Auto_Prog.gen, which generates Prog. on the fly" )

   \item ?how is the relation to reverse-rewriting ???

   \item "Rfuns" markers in test/../rational

   \item xxx

   \item datatype istate (Istate.T): remove RrlsState, pstate: use Rrls only for creating results beyond

     rewriting and/or respective intermediate steps (e.g. cancellation of fractions).

     Thus we get a 1-step-action which does NOT require a state beyond istate/pstate.

   not yet use the novel locale features introduces by Isar. For instance, {\tt probe} sounds

   reasonable as (1) a description in the model of a problem-pattern, (2) as an element of the

   problem hierarchies key, (3) as a socalled CAS-command, (4) as the name of a related script etc.

   However, all the cases (1)..(4) require different typing for one and the same

   identifier {\tt probe} which is impossible, and actually leads to strange errors

   (for instance (1) is used as string, except in a script addressing a Subproblem).

   These are the preliminary rules for naming identifiers>

   \begin{description}

   \item [elements of a key] into the hierarchy of problems or methods must not contain

     capital letters and may contain underscrores, e.g. {\tt probe, for_polynomials}.

   \item [descriptions in problem-patterns] must contain at least 1 capital letter and

     must not contain underscores, e.g. {\tt Probe, forPolynomials}.

   \item [CAS-commands] follow the same rules as descriptions in problem-patterns above, thus

     beware of conflicts~!

   \item [script identifiers] always end with {\tt Program}, e.g. {\tt ProbeScript}.

   \item [???] ???

   \item [???] ???

 subsubsection \<open>Rule sets\<close>

 text \<open>The actual version of the coding standards for rulesets is in {\tt /IsacKnowledge/Atools.ML

   where it can be viewed using the knowledge browsers.

   There are rulesets visible to the student, and there are rulesets visible (in general) only for

   math authors. There are also rulesets which {\em must} exist for {\em each} theory;

   these contain the identifier of the respective theory (including all capital letters) 

   as indicated by {\it Thy} below.

   \begin{description}

   \item [norm\_{\it Thy}] exists for each theory, and {\em efficiently} calculates a

     normalform for all terms which can be expressed by the definitions of the respective theory

     (and the respective parents).

   \item [simplify\_{\it Thy}] exists for each theory, and calculates a normalform for all terms

     which can be expressed by the definitions of the respective theory (and the respective parents)

     such, that the rewrites can be presented to the student.

   \item [calculate\_{\it Thy}] exists for each theory, and evaluates terms with 

     numerical constants only (i.e. all terms which can be expressed by the definitions of

     the respective theory and the respective parent theories). In particular, this ruleset includes

     evaluating in/equalities with numerical constants only.

     WN.3.7.03: may be dropped due to more generality: numericals and non-numericals

     are logically equivalent, where the latter often add to the assumptions

     (e.g. in Check_elementwise).

   \end{description}

   The above rulesets are all visible to the user, and also may be input; 

   thus they must be contained in {\tt Theory_Data} (KEStore_Elems.add_rlss,

   KEStore_Elems.get_rlss). All these rulesets must undergo a preparation

   using the function {\tt prep_rls'}, which generates a script for stepwise rewriting etc.

   The following rulesets are used for internal purposes and usually invisible to the (naive) user:

   \begin{description}

   \item [*\_erls] TODO

   \item [*\_prls] 

   \item [*\_srls] 

   \end{description}

   Re: [isabelle] Programatically get "this"

   So here is my (Makarius') version of your initial example, following these principles:

   begin{verbatim}

     notepad

     begin

       assume a: A

       ML_val \<open>

         val ctxt = @{context};

         val this_name =

           Name_Space.full_name (Proof_Context.naming_of ctxt) (Binding.name Auto_Bind.thisN);

         val this = #thms (the (Proof_Context.lookup_fact ctxt this_name));

   This is how Sledgehammer approximates this:

   http://isabelle.in.tum.de/repos/isabelle/file/Isabelle2018/src/HOL/Tools/Sledgehammer/sledgehammer_isar_proof.ML#l299

   (The module name already shows that the proper terminology is "Isar

   proof" (or "Isar proof text").  Proof scripts are a thing from the past,

   before Isar. You can emulate old-style proof scripts via a sequence of

   'apply' commands, but this is improper Isar.)

   Note that there is no standard function in Isabelle/Pure, because the

   problem to print just the right amount of type information is very

   complex and not fully solved. One day, after 1 or 2 rounds of

   refinements over the above approach, it might become generally available.
