make resolution replay more robust, in case Metis distinguishes between two literals that are merged in Isabelle (e.g. because they carry more or less type annotations in Metis)

                       The Isabelle System Distribution

Version information

   This is some unidentified repository version of Isabelle.

   See the NEWS file in the distribution for details on user-relevant
   changes.

System requirements

   Isabelle requires a regular Unix-style platform (e.g. Linux,
   Windows with Cygwin, Mac OS) and depends on the following main
   add-on tools:

     * The Poly/ML compiler and runtime system (version 5.2.1 or later).
     * The GNU bash shell (version 3.x or 2.x).
     * Perl (version 5.x).
     * GNU Emacs (version 23) -- for the Proof General 4.x interface.
     * Java 1.6.x from Oracle/Sun or Apple -- for Scala and jEdit.
     * A complete LaTeX installation -- for document preparation.

Installation

   Completely integrated bundles including the full Isabelle sources,
   documentation, add-on tools and precompiled logic images for
   several platforms are available from the Isabelle web page.

   Further background information may be found in the Isabelle System
   Manual, distributed with the sources (directory doc).

User interface

   The classic Isabelle user interface is Proof General by David
   Aspinall and others.  It is a generic Emacs interface for proof
   assistants, including Isabelle.  Its most prominent feature is
   script management, providing a metaphor of stepwise proof script
   editing.

   Isabelle/jEdit is an experimental Prover IDE based on advanced
   technology of Isabelle/Scala.  It provides a metaphor of continuous
   proof checking of a versioned collection of theory sources, with
   instantaneous feedback in real-time.
