* Isar/Pure: emulation of instantiation tactics (rule_tac, cut_tac,
etc.)  now consider the syntactic context of assumptions, giving a
better chance to get type-inference of the arguments right (this is
especially important for locales);
* system: refrain from any attempt at filtering input streams; no
longer support ``8bit'' encoding of old isabelle font, instead proper
iso-latin characters may now be used;
