Adding Untyped Definitions

  The function

creates definitions without typing lemmas. lhs is the new term constructor and rhs is the what it is defined as. lhs and rhs are used for the left-hand and right-hand sides of the abstraction for the new definition. place is a library position as described in Chapter gif . lhs is invariably a new term, so you usually will want to use the new term creation feature of the term editor to enter it (see Section gif ). If the opid of the new definition is id, then utdef adds 2 new objects to the library starting at position place:

utdef has no effect if an object with name id already exists. Often after running utdef you will want to customize the display form. For example you might add whitespace related formats to the display form left-hand side.
