+\begin{warn}
+Assumptions are simplified in a left-to-right fashion. If an
+assumption can help in simplifying one to the left of it, this may get
+overlooked. In such cases you have to rotate the assumptions explicitly:
+\isacommand{apply}\isa{{\isacharparenleft}rotate{\isacharunderscore}tac}~$n$\isa{{\isacharparenright}}\indexbold{*rotate_tac}
+causes a cyclic shift by $n$ positions from right to left, if $n$ is
+positive, and from left to right, if $n$ is negative.
+Beware that such rotations make proofs quite brittle.
