Ramana is right: this is a documentation bug.

Hmm... this could be a throwback to a time when the hypotheses were represented 
by a list... if so the documentation should be updated. I'm not entirely sure 
though.

Ramana assures me that HOL4 manages the assumptions of a theorem as a set modulo
alpha-convertibility. I had been suspicious because of the following  statement 
in the
Reference Manual description of DISCH_ALL:

"Two or more alpha-convertible hypotheses will be discharged by a single 
implication;
users should not rely on which hypothesis appears in the implication."

So is that a glitch in the documentation? Or does HOL4 offer some mysterious 
way of proving a
theorem with two distinct but alpha-equivalent assumptions?

Regards,

Rob.
