We may miss solutions, but the solutions found are much more readable.
For example, without this option, for elaboration problem
Theorem Example4 (a b c d e : N) (H: (a = b ∧ b = e ∧ b = c) ∨ (a = d ∧ d = c)) : (h a c) = (h c a) :=
DisjCases H
(fun H1 : _,
let AeqC := Trans (Conjunct1 H1) (Conjunct2 (Conjunct2 H1))
in CongrH AeqC (Symm AeqC))
(fun H1 : _,
let AeqC := Trans (Conjunct1 H1) (Conjunct2 H1)
in CongrH AeqC (Symm AeqC))
the elaborator generates
Theorem Example4 (a b c d e : N) (H : a = b ∧ b = e ∧ b = c ∨ a = d ∧ d = c) : (h a c) = (h c a) :=
DisjCases
H
(λ H1 : if
Bool
(if Bool (a = b) (if Bool (if Bool (if Bool (b = e) (if Bool (b = c) ⊥ ⊤) ⊤) ⊥ ⊤) ⊥ ⊤) ⊤)
⊥
⊤,
let AeqC := Trans (Conjunct1 H1) (Conjunct2 (Conjunct2 H1)) in CongrH AeqC (Symm AeqC))
(λ H1 : if Bool (if Bool (a = d) (if Bool (d = c) ⊥ ⊤) ⊤) ⊥ ⊤,
let AeqC := Trans (Conjunct1 H1) (Conjunct2 H1) in CongrH AeqC (Symm AeqC))
The solution is correct, but it is not very readable. The problem is that the elaborator expands the definitions of \/ and /\.
