Hi all,

HOL has the following classical introduction rule for disjunction:

disjCI: (¬ ?Q ⟹ ?P) ⟹ ?P ∨ ?Q

I sometimes miss the following symmetric rule:

disjCI2: (¬ ?P ⟹ ?Q) ⟹ ?P ∨ ?Q

Any thoughts on adding this rule? Are there good alternatives in situations
like this:

have "P ∨ Q"
proof (rule disjCI2)
assume "¬ P"
show "Q"
sorry

qed

I wouldn't say it's a good alternative, but here is another spelling of disjCI2:

have "P ∨ Q"
proof (rule Meson.disj_comm[OF disjCI])
assume "¬P"
show "Q"
sorry
