.. tacn:: apply @term

-This tactic applies to any goal. The argument term is a term well-formed in the
-local context. The tactic apply tries to match the current goal against the
-conclusion of the type of term. If it succeeds, then the tactic returns as many
-subgoals as the number of non-dependent premises of the type of term. If the
