    Verify-guard-implication

    Guard implication for memoize keyword :invoke

    Examples:
    (verify-guard-implication f g)
    (verify-guard-implication f g
                              :hints (("Goal" :in-theory (enable nth))))
    
    General Form:
    (verify-guard-implication fn1 fn2 &key hints otf-flg)

    where none of the arguments is evaluated. This macro creates a defthm event with :rule-classes nil, using :hints and :otf-flg if provided. The formula of that event is generally an implication formed from the guards of the two functions, but might be T, as we now describe.

    Let guard-fn1 be the guard for fn1, and let guard-fn2 be the result of substituting the formals of fn1 for the formals of fn2 in the guard for fn2. If guard-fn1 tautologically implies guard-fn2 (for example, the two are equal or guard-fn2 is 'T), then the formula of the generated event is T. Otherwise, the formula is (IMPLIES guard-fn1 guard-fn2).

    Note that the formula might be unpleasant for a human to read, since guard-fn1 and guard-fn2 are translated terms (see term).
