(*  Title:      Tools/solve_direct.ML
    Author:     Timothy Bourke and Gerwin Klein, NICTA

Check whether a newly stated theorem can be solved directly by an
existing theorem.  Duplicate lemmas can be detected in this way.

The implementation relies critically on the Find_Theorems solves
feature.
