 \item a basic repertoire of proof commands.

+\begin{warn}
+It is tempting to think that all lemmas should have the \isa{simp} attribute
+just because this was the case in the example above. However, in that example
+all lemmas were equations, and the right-hand side was simpler than the
+left-hand side --- an ideal situation for simplification purposes. Unless
+this is clearly the case, novices should refrain from awarding a lemma the
+\isa{simp} attribute, which has a global effect. Instead, lemmas can be
+applied locally where they are needed, which is discussed in the following
+chapter.
