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

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

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

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

   524     (and the respective parents).
   525   \item [simplify\_{\it Thy}] exists for each theory, and calculates a normalform for all terms
   526     which can be expressed by the definitions of the respective theory (and the respective parents)
   527     such, that the rewrites can be presented to the student.
   528   \item [calculate\_{\it Thy}] exists for each theory, and evaluates terms with 
   529     numerical constants only (i.e. all terms which can be expressed by the definitions of
   530     the respective theory and the respective parent theories). In particular, this ruleset includes
   531     evaluating in/equalities with numerical constants only.
   532     WN.3.7.03: may be dropped due to more generality: numericals and non-numericals
   533     are logically equivalent, where the latter often add to the assumptions

   578   This is how Sledgehammer approximates this:
   579   
   580   http://isabelle.in.tum.de/repos/isabelle/file/Isabelle2018/src/HOL/Tools/Sledgehammer/sledgehammer_isar_proof.ML#l299
   581   
   582   (The module name already shows that the proper terminology is "Isar
   583   proof" (or "Isar proof text").  Proof scripts are a thing from the past,
   584   before Isar. You can emulate old-style proof scripts via a sequence of
   585   'apply' commands, but this is improper Isar.)
   586   
   587   Note that there is no standard function in Isabelle/Pure, because the
   588   problem to print just the right amount of type information is very
   589   complex and not fully solved. One day, after 1 or 2 rounds of
   590   refinements over the above approach, it might become generally available.
