(* The tactic [iIntoEmpValid] tactic solves a goal [bi_emp_valid ?Q]. The
argument [t] must be a Coq term whose type is of the following shape:
[∀ (x_1 : A_1) .. (x_n : A_n), φ]
and so that we have an instance `AsValid φ Q`.
for which we have an instance [AsEmpValid φ ?Q].
Examples of such [φ]s are
- [bi_emp_valid P], in which case [Q] should be [P]
- [P1 ⊢ P2], in which case [Q] should be [P1 -∗ P2]
- [P1 ⊣⊢ P2], in which case [Q] should be [P1 ↔ P2]
- [bi_emp_valid P], in which case [Q] is unified with [P].
- [P1 ⊢ P2], in which case [Q] is unified with [P1 -∗ P2].
- [P1 ⊣⊢ P2], in which case [Q] is unified with [P1 ↔ P2].
The tactic instantiates each dependent argument [x_i] with an evar and generates
a goal [R] for each non-dependent argument [x_i : R]. For example, if the
original goal was [Q] and [t] has type [∀ x, P x → Q], then it generates an evar
[?x] for [x] and a subgoal [P ?x]. *)
