/** \brief Function for elaborating expressions nested in tactics.
    Some tactics contain nested expression (aka pre-terms) that need to be elaborated.
    The arguments are:
    1- goal that will provide the context where the expression will be elaborated
    2- name generator
    3- expression to be elaborated
    4- a flag indicating whether the elaborator should report unassigned/unsolved placeholders

/** \brief Try to elaborate expression \c e using the elaboration function \c elab. The elaboration is performed
    with respect to (local context of) the first goal in \c s. The constraints generated during elaboration
    are solved using the higher-order unifier. When solving the constraints any postponed constraint in \c s
    is also considered. Only the first solution returned by the unifier is considered.
    If the whole process succeeds, then the elaborated expression is returned, and the proof state is updated.
    The following fields in the name generator may be updated: name-generator and substitution.

    If the proof state has no goal, the elaboration or unifier fails, then none is returned and the proof state
    is not modified.
