(*  Title:      Tools/auto_solve.ML
    Author:     Timothy Bourke and Gerwin Klein, NICTA

Check whether a newly stated theorem can be solved directly by an
existing theorem.  Duplicate lemmas can be detected in this way.

The implementation is based in part on Berghofer and Haftmann's
quickcheck.ML.  It relies critically on the FindTheorems solves
feature.
