Hints-specifier

Specifies the form of hints for an APT transformation.

The :hints keyword for an APT transformation is legal when there is at least one applicability condition. The value may be a legal ACL2::hints value, that is, a legal value for the theorem prover's :hints option, as provided for example in a defthm event. Otherwise its value should be a keyword-value list (see keyword-value-listp)

(:KWD1 h1 :KWD2 h2 ...)

whose keywords KWDk are unique and include only names of applicability conditions, where each value hk is a legal ACL2::hints value as discussed above.
