    16 * 'rep_datatype': instead of theorem names the command now takes a list of terms
    17 * Methods "case_tac" and "induct_tac" now refer to the very same rule
    17 denoting the constructors of the type to be represented as datatype.  The
    18 declarations as the structured Isar versions "cases" and "induct", cf.
    18 characteristic theorems have to be proven.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  Also observe that
    19 the corresponding "cases" and "induct" attributes.  INCOMPATIBILITY,
    19 the following theorems have disappeared in favour of existing ones:
    20 in rare situations a different rule is selected --- notably nested
       
    21 tuple elimination instead of former prod.exhaust: use explicit
       
    22 (case_tac t rule: prod.exhaust) here.
       
    23 
       
    24 * Removed fact "case_split_thm", which duplicates "case_split".

    26 * Command 'rep_datatype': instead of theorem names the command now
       
    27 takes a list of terms denoting the constructors of the type to be
       
    28 represented as datatype.  The characteristic theorems have to be
       
    29 proven.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  Also observe that the following theorems

    26 * Tactics induct_tac and thm_induct_tac now take explicit context as arguments;
       
    27 type-specific induction rules are identified by the 'induct' attribute rather
       
    28 than querying the datatype package directly.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

    30 * 'Least' operator now restricted to class 'order' (and subclasses).
