+
+ Pre-conditions:

+
+
+
+ Action:
+
+ applyS is useful when

+ equivalent up to instantiation of metavariables, but cannot
+ be unified. E.g. the goal is P(n*O+m) and
+ the theorem to be applied proves âm.P(m+O).
+
+
+ It tries to automatically rewrite the current goal using
+ auto paramodulation
+ to make it unifiable with G.
+ Then it closes the current sequent by applying
+ t to n
+ implicit arguments (that become new sequents).
+ The auto_params parameters are passed
+ directly to auto paramodulation.
