+ `iLöb as "IH" forall (x1 ... xn) "selpat"` : perform Löb induction,
generalizing over the Coq level variables `x1 ... xn`, the hypotheses given by
the selection pattern `selpat`, and the spatial context as usual.
- `iInduction x as cpat "IH" "selpat"` : perform induction on
the Coq term `x`. The Coq introduction pattern `cpat` is used to name the introduced
variables. The induction hypotheses are inserted into the intuitionistic
context and given fresh names prefixed `IH`.
+ `iInduction x as cpat "IH" forall (x1 ... xn) "selpat"` : perform induction,
- `iInduction x as cpat "selpat"` : perform induction on the Coq term `x`. The
Coq introduction pattern `cpat` is used to name the introduced variables,
including the induction hypotheses which are introduced into the proof mode
context. Note that induction hypotheses should not be put into string
quotation marks `".."`, e.g., use `iInduction n as [|n IH]` to perform
induction on a natural number `n`. An implementation caveat is that the names
of the induction hypotheses should be fresh in both the Coq context and the
proof mode context.
+ `iInduction x as cpat forall (x1 ... xn) "selpat"` : perform induction,
generalizing over the Coq level variables `x1 ... xn`, the hypotheses given by
the selection pattern `selpat`, and the spatial context.
+ `iInduction x as cpat "IH" using t` : perform induction using the induction
+ `iInduction x as cpat using t` : perform induction using the induction
scheme `t`. Common examples of induction schemes are `map_ind`, `set_ind_L`,
and `gmultiset_ind` for `gmap`, `gset`, and `gmultiset`.
+ `iInduction x as cpat "IH" using t forall (x1 ... xn) "selpat"` : the above
+ `iInduction x as cpat using t forall (x1 ... xn) "selpat"` : the above
variants combined.
+ `iInduction x as cpat "IH" "selpat"` : ignore the names of the induction
hypotheses from `cpat` and call them `IH`, `IH1`, `IH2`, etc. Here "IH" is
a string (in string quotation marks). This is *legacy* syntax that might be
deprecated in the future. Similar legacy syntax exists for all variants above.
