  The result refers to various basic facts of Isabelle/HOL: @{thm [source]
  HOL.impI}, @{thm [source] HOL.conjE}, @{thm [source] HOL.conjI} etc. The
  combinator \<^ML>\<open>Proofterm.fold_body_thms\<close> recursively explores the graph of
  the proofs of all theorems being used here.

  \<^medskip>
  Alternatively, we may produce a proof term manually, and turn it into a
  theorem as follows:
\<close>

ML_val \<open>
  val thy = \<^theory>;
  val prf =
    Proof_Syntax.read_proof thy true false
      "impI \<cdot> _ \<cdot> _ \<bullet> \
      \   (\<^bold>\<lambda>H: _. \
      \     conjE \<cdot> _ \<cdot> _ \<cdot> _ \<bullet> H \<bullet> \
      \       (\<^bold>\<lambda>(H: _) Ha: _. conjI \<cdot> _ \<cdot> _ \<bullet> Ha \<bullet> H))";
  val thm =
    Proofterm.reconstruct_proof thy \<^prop>\<open>A \<and> B \<longrightarrow> B \<and> A\<close> prf
    |> Proof_Checker.thm_of_proof thy
    |> Drule.export_without_context;
\<close>
