\DOC rewrites \TYPE {rewrites : thm list -> ssdata} \SYNOPSIS Creates an {ssdata} value consisting of the given theorems as rewrites. \KEYWORDS simplification \LIBRARY simpLib \FAILURE Never fails. \EXAMPLE Instead of writing the simpler {SIMP_CONV std_ss thmlist}, one could write { SIMP_CONV (std_ss ++ rewrites thmlist) [] } More plausibly, {rewrites} can be used to create commonly used {ssdata} values containing a great number of rewrites. This is how the basic system's various {ssdata} values are constructed where those values consist only of rewrite theorems. \SEEALSO bossLib.++, simpLib.mk_simpset, simpLib.SIMPSET, bossLib.SIMP_CONV. \ENDDOC
