Topic: How to define small tactics inside a proof?

Is it possible to define some small tactic script and then reuse it during the proof but not letting it go out of the scope of the proof. I'm looking for something like

Lemma foo x : y.
Proof.
   let _easy := match goal with ... end in
   destruct v; try _easy.
  { blablabla; _easy. }
  { otherblablaba; _easy. }
Qed.

The let _easy := ... in works until I put a {, is there any alternative for that?

  1. I don't think Qed. clears any tactics, but a section's End does — so you can wrap your lemma into Section foo. .... End foo.
  2. FWIW, I think let works until ., not {.

Yeah but I have to add . before {, so ... I can use [foo|bar] but is not as convenient as {...}

ah I was unclear: I agree, I do mean that let lasts even less
