Generic tableau prover with proof reconstruction

  SKOLEMIZES ReplaceI WRONGLY: allow new vars in prems, or forbid such rules??
  Needs explicit instantiation of assumptions?


Blast_tac is often more powerful than fast_tac, but has some limitations.
Blast_tac...
  * ignores addss, addbefore, addafter; this restriction is intrinsic
  * ignores elimination rules that don't have the correct format
	(conclusion must be a formula variable)
  * ignores types, which can make HOL proofs fail
  * rules must not require higher-order unification, e.g. apply_type in ZF
    + message "Function Var's argument not a bound variable" relates to this
  * its proof strategy is more general but can actually be slower

Known problems:
  "Recursive" chains of rules can sometimes exclude other unsafe formulae
	from expansion.  This happens because newly-created formulae always
	have priority over existing ones.  But obviously recursive rules 
	such as transitivity are treated specially to prevent this.

  With overloading:
        Overloading can't follow all chains of type dependencies.  Cannot
        prove "In1 x ~: Part A In0" because PartE introducees the polymorphic
	equality In1 x = In0 y, when the corresponding rule uses the (distinct)
	set equality.  Workaround: supply a type instance of the rule that
	creates new equalities (e.g. PartE in HOL/ex/Simult)
	==> affects freeness reasoning about Sexp constants (since they have
		type ... set)

  With substition for equalities (hyp_subst_tac):
        When substitution affects a haz formula or literal, it is moved
        back to the list of safe formulae.
        But there's no way of putting it in the right place.  A "moved" or
        "no DETERM" flag would prevent proofs failing here.
