Add the ability to customize incremental pre-processing simplification for the SMTLIB2 front-end. The main new capability is to use pre-processing tactics in incremental mode that were previously not available. The main new capabilities are
- solve-eqs
- reduce-args
- elim-unconstrained
There are several more. Documentation and exposed simplifiers are populated incrementally. The current set of supported simplifiers can be inspected by using z3 with the --simplifiers flag or referring to https://microsoft.github.io/z3guide/docs/strategies/simplifiers
Some pending features are:
- add the ability to update parameters to simplifiers similar to how tactics can be controlled using parameters.
- expose simplification solvers over the binary API.
rename size() to qtail() and introduce shortcuts
ensure tactic goals are not updated if they are in inconsistent state (because indices could be invalidated)
- add sat.smt option to enable the new incremental core (it is not ready for mainstream consumption as cloning and other features are not implemented and it hasn't been tested in any detail yet).
- move "name" into attribute on simplifier so it can be reused for diagnostics by the seq-simplifier.
