PART_MATCH' : (term -> term) -> thm -> term -> thm
STRUCTURE
SYNOPSIS
Version of PART_MATCH that only specialises necessary variables in input
DESCRIPTION
PART_MATCH' selfn th tm behaves similarly to PART_MATCH selfn th tm, except that outermost, universally quantified variables in th are retained in the result unless they are part of the matching.
FAILURE
Fails when PART_MATCH would fail.
EXAMPLE
> IMP_DISJ_THM;
val it = ⊢ ∀A B. A ⇒ B ⇔ ¬A ∨ B: thm

> PART_MATCH (rand o lhs) IMP_DISJ_THM “p /\ A”;
val it = ⊢ A ⇒ p ∧ A ⇔ ¬A ∨ p ∧ A: thm

> PART_MATCH' (rand o lhs) IMP_DISJ_THM “p /\ A”;
val it = ⊢ ∀A'. A' ⇒ p ∧ A ⇔ ¬A' ∨ p ∧ A: thm
