Qed.
(** We write the proof in a way that avoids the use of local variable or hypothesis names, using the %\index{tactics!match}%[match] tactic form to do pattern-matching on the goal. We use unification variables prefixed by question marks in the pattern, and we take advantage of the possibility to mention a unification variable twice in one pattern, to enforce equality between occurrences. The hint to rewrite with [plus_n_Sm] in a particular direction saves us from having to figure out the right place to apply that theorem, and we also take critical advantage of a new tactic, %\index{tactics!eauto}%[eauto].

The [crush] tactic uses the tactic [intuition], which, when it runs out of tricks to try using only propositional logic, by default tries the tactic [auto], which we saw in an earlier example. For now, think of [eauto] as a potentially more expensive version of [auto] that considers more possible proofs; see Chapter 13 for more detail. The quick summary is that [eauto] considers applying a lemma even when the form of the current goal doesn not uniquely determine the values of all of the lemma's quantified variables.
The original theorem now follows trivially from our lemma. *)
