    13   1. It will sometimes reorient premises if that increases their power to
       
    14      simplify.
       
    15   2. It does no longer proceed strictly from left to right but may also
       
    16      rotate premises to achieve further simplification.
       
    17   For compatibility reasons there is now Asm_lr_simp_tac which is like the
       
    18   old Asm_full_simp_tac in that it does not rotate premises.
