Detailed Description

Tactics transform, solver and/or simplify sets of constraints (Goal).
A Tactic can be converted into a Solver using the method solver().

Several combinators are available for creating new tactics using the built-in ones:
Then(), OrElse(), FailIf(), Repeat(), When(), Cond().

solver()

Create a solver using the tactic `self`.

The solver supports the methods `push()` and `pop()`, but it
will always solve each `check()` from scratch.
