text The simplifier works bottom up, which means that when invoked on a (compound) term it first
 descends into the subterms to normalise those and then works its way up to the head of the term
 trying to apply rewrite rules for the current redex (reducible expression) it encounters on the
 way up. Descending into the term can be influenced by congruence rules. Before descending into the
 subterms the simplifier checks for a congruence rule for the head of the term. If it finds one
 it behaves according to that rule, otherwise the simplifier descends into each subterm subsequently.
 
 While rewrite rules can be complemented with simplification procedures (simprocs) to get even
 more programmatic control, congruence rules can be complemented with congruence
 procedures (congprocs):
 
 🪙 Congprocs share the same ML signature as simprocs and provide a similar interface in
  Isabelle/ML as well as Isabelle/Isar:
  @{ML_type "morphism -> Proof.context -> thm option"}
 🪙 Congprocs are triggered by associated term patterns (just like simprocs) not just the head constant
  (which is the case for congruence rules). Like simprocs, congprocs are managed in a term net.
 🪙 Congprocs have precedence over congruence rules (unlike simprocs)
 🪙 In case the term net selects multiple candidates,
  the one with the more specific term pattern is tried first. A pattern
  p1 is considered more specific than p2 if p2 matches p1 but not vice versa.
 🪙 To avoid surprises the theorems returned by a congproc should follow the structure of
  ordinary congruence rule. Either the conclusion should return an equation where the head of the
  left hand side and right hand side coincide, or the right hand side is already in normal form.
  Otherwise, simplification might skip some relevant subterms or do repeated simplification of
  some subterms. Some fine points are illustrated by the following examples.

text We do not get the same result. The then-branch is selected but not simplified.
 As the simplifier works bottom up it can usually assume that the subterms are already in
 'simp normal form'. So the simplifier avoids to revisit the then-branch when it applies
 @{thm if_True}. However, the weak congruence rule
 @{thm if_weak_cong} only simplifies the condition and neither branch.
 As the simplifier analyses congruence rules this rule is classified as weak. Whenever a
 redex is simplified (for which a weak congruence rule is active) the simplifier deviates from its
  default behaviour and rewrites the result. However, the simplifier does not analyse the
 congproc. To achieve the same result we can explicitly specify it as 🪙weak.

text The result is the same as with the canonical congproc. But when inspecting the simp_trace
 we can observe some odd congruence behaviour:
 🪙 First condition is simplified to True
 🪙 Non-standard congruence rule @{thm if_True_cong} is selected which does
  not have the same head on the right hand side and simply gives back the "then-branch"
 🪙 Incidently simplification continues on the then-branch as there are simplification rules for
  the redex @{term "22 + 2"}. So we were lucky.
 
 The following example with a nested if-then-else illustrates what can go wrong.
 

ML_val

text For the a nested if-then-else we get stuck as there is no simplification rule
 triggering for the inner if-then-else once it is at the toplevel. Note that it does not
 help to specify the congproc as 🪙weak. The last step of the simplifier was the application
 of the congruence rule. No rewrite rule is triggered for the resulting redex so the simplifier
 does not revisit the term. Note that congruence rules (and congprocs) are applied only when the
 simplifier walks down the term (top-down), simplification rules (and simprocs) on the other hand
 are only applied when the simplifier walks up the term (bottom-up). As the simplifier is on its
 way up there is no reason to try a congruence rule on the resulting redex.
 It only tries to apply simplification rules.
 
 So congprocs should better behave canonically like ordinary congruence rules and
  preserve the head of the redex:

subsection Sketches for more meaningful congprocs

text One motivation for congprocs is the simplification of monadic terms which occur in the
 context of the verification of imperative programs. We use Imperative_HOL as an example here.
 In typical monadic programs we encounter lots of monadic binds and
 guards aka assertions. Typical assertions protect against arithmetic overflows, dangling pointers
 or might encode type information for some pointers. In particular when those assertions are
 mechanically generated, e.g. by refinement proofs, there tends to be a lot of redundancy in
 the assertions that are sprinkled all over the place in the program. Removing those redundant
 guards by simplification can be utilised by congprocs.
 
 

text 
 A first attempt for a congruence rule to propagate an assertion through a bind is the following:
 We can assume the predicate when simplifying the 'body' 🍋f:
 
lemma assert_bind_cong':
  "(P x = P' x) ==> (P x ==> f = f') ==> ((assert P x) 🍋 f) = ((assert P' x) 🍋 f')"
  by (auto simp add: assert_def bind_def simp add: execute_raise split: option.splits)

text Unfortunately this is not a plain congruence rule that the simplifier can work with.
 The problem is that congruence rules only work on the head constant of the left hand side of
  the equation in the conclusion. This is 🍋bind. But the rule is too specific as it only works
 for binds where the first monadic action is an 🍋assert. Fortunately congprocs offer
 that flexibility. Like simprocs they can be triggered by patterns not only the head constant.
 
 A slightly more abstract version, generalises the parameter 🍋x for simplification of the body
 🍋f. This also illustrates the introduction of bound variables that are passed along through
 the 🍋bind.
 

lemma assert_bind_cong:
  "(P x = P' x) ==> (x. P x ==> f x = f' x) ==> ((assert P x) 🍋 f) = ((assert P' x) 🍋 f')"
  by (auto simp add: assert_def bind_def simp add: execute_raise execute_return split: option.splits)

text Another typical use case is that a monadic action returns a tuple which is then propagated
 through the binds. The tuple is naturally stated in 'eta expanded' form like 🍋λ(x,y). f x y such that the
 body can directly refer to the bound variables 🍋x and 🍋z and not via 🍋fst and
  🍋snd.

lemma assert_bind_cong2':
  "(P a b = P' a b) ==> (P a b ==> f a b = f' a b) ==>
  ((assert (λ(x,y). P x y) (a,b)) 🍋 (λ(x,y). f x y)) = ((assert (λ(x,y). P' x y) (a,b)) 🍋 (λ(x,y). f' x y))"
  apply (auto simp add: assert_def bind_def simp add: execute_raise execute_return
      split: option.splits)
  done

lemma assert_bind_cong2:
  "(P a b = P' a b) ==> (a b. P a b ==> f a b = f' a b) ==>

text To properly handle tuples in general we cold of course refine our congproc to
 analyse the arity of the 🍋bind and then derive a variant of @{thm assert_bind_cong2} with the
 corresponding arity, 3, 4, 5... We leave this as a exercise for the reader.
 
 N.B. For the problem of tuple-splitting there sure are other solutions, e.g. normalising the
 program with @{thm case_prod_conv} or @{thm case_prod_unfold}. The drawback is that this usually
 diminishes the readability of the monadic expression. Moreover, from a performance perspective it
 is usually better to split a rule like @{thm assert_bind_cong2}, which is abstract and of a fixed
 known small size, compared to normalisation of an unknown user defined monadic expression which might
 be quite sizeable.
 


subsection Customizing the context in congruence rules and congprocs

text 
 When the simplifier works on a term it manages its context in the simpset. In
 particular when 'going under' an abstraction λx. ... it introduces a fresh free variable 🍋x,
 substitutes it in the body and continues. Also when going under an implication ??P ==> C it
 assumes 🍋P, extracts simplification rules from 🍋P which it adds to the simpset and
 simplifies the conclusion 🍋C. This pattern is what we typically encounter in congruence rules
 like @{thm assert_bind_cong2} where we have a precondition like
  🍋a b. P a b ==> f a b = f' a b. This advises the simplifier to fix 🍋a and 🍋b,
 assume 🍋P a b, extract simplification rules from that, and continue to simplify 🍋f a b.
 
 With congprocs we can go beyond this default behaviour of the simplifier as we are not restricted
 to the format of congruence rules. In the end we have to deliver an equation but are free how we
 derive it. A common building block of such more refined congprocs is that we
 not only want to add 🍋P a b to the simpset but want to enhance some other application specific
 data with that premise, e.g. add it to a collection of named theorems or come up with some derived facts
 that we want to offer some other tool (like another simproc, or solver).
 The simpset already offers the possiblity to customise @{ML Simplifier.mksimps} which is a
 function of type @{ML_type "Proof.context -> thm -> thm list"}. This function is used to derive equations
 from a premise like 🍋P a b when it is added by the simplifier. We have extended that
 function to type @{ML_type "thm -> Proof.context -> thm list * Proof.context"} to give the user the
 control to do additional modifications to the context:
 @{ML Simplifier.get_mksimps_context}, @{ML Simplifier.set_mksimps_context}
 The following contrived example illustrates the potential usage:
 

definition EXTRACT :: "bool ==> bool" where "EXTRACT P = P"
definition UNPROTECT :: "bool ==> bool" where "UNPROTECT P = P"
