The first step is induction on the natural number \isa{k}, which leaves
two subgoals:

Here \isa{auto} simplifies both subgoals so that they match the introduction
rules, which then are applied automatically.*};

text{*Our goal is to prove the equivalence between the traditional definition
of even (using the divides relation) and our inductive definition.  Half of
this equivalence is trivial using the lemma just proved, whose \isa{intro!}
attribute ensures it will be applied automatically.  *}
