/-
TODO:
- we want an easier to use cases:
  - keeps in the goal an equation of the shape: `t = case`
  - if called on Prop terms, uses Classical.em
  Actually, the cases from mathlib seems already quite powerful
  (https://leanprover-community.github.io/mathlib_docs/tactics.html#cases)
  For instance: cases h : e
  Also: **casesm**
- better split tactic
- we need conversions to operate on the head of applications.
  Actually, something like this works:
  ```
  conv at Hl =>
    apply congr_fun
    simp [fix_fuel_P]
  ```
  Maybe we need a rpt ... ; focus?
- simplifier/rewriter have a strange behavior sometimes
