Keyed unification option, compiling the whole standard library
(but deactivated still). Set Keyed Unification to activate the option, which changes subterm selection to _always_ use full conversion _after_ finding a subterm whose head/key matches the key of the term we're looking for. This applies to rewrite and higher-order unification in apply/elim/destruct. Most proof scripts already abide by these semantics. For those that don't, it's usually only a matter of using: Declare Equivalent Keys f g. This make keyed unification consider f and g to match as keys. This takes care of most cases of abbreviations: typically Def foo := bar and rewriting with a bar-headed lhs in a goal mentioning foo works once they're set equivalent. For canonical structures, these hints should be automatically declared. For non-global-reference headed terms, the key is the constructor name (Sort, Prod...). Evars and metas are no keys. INCOMPATIBILITIES: In FMapFullAVL, a Function definition doesn't go through with keyed unification on.
