 Axiom to express monotonicity (a variant of the deduction theorem).  Makes the
 link between |- and ==>, needed for instance to prove imp_cong.
 
+Axiom left_cong allows the simplifier to use left-side formulas.  Ideally it
+should be derived from lower-level axioms.
+
 CANNOT be added to LK0.thy because modal logic is built upon it, and
 various modal rules would become inconsistent.
