(*  Author:     Oliver Kutter, TU Muenchen

Transitivity reasoner for partial and linear orders.
*)

(* TODO: reduce number of input thms *)

(*

The package provides tactics partial_tac and linear_tac that use all
premises of the form

  t = u, t ~= u, t < u, t <= u, ~(t < u) and ~(t <= u)

to
1. either derive a contradiction,
   in which case the conclusion can be any term,
2. or prove the conclusion, which must be of the same form as the
   premises (excluding ~(t < u) and ~(t <= u) for partial orders)

The package is not limited to the relation <= and friends.  It can be
instantiated to any partial and/or linear order --- for example, the
divisibility relation "dvd".  In order to instantiate the package for
a partial order only, supply dummy theorems to the rules for linear
orders, and don't use linear_tac!
