Hi
For various reasons I would like to be able to have multigoal intros and write things like:

all:intros [> x y H | x y z Hxy Hxz | ...].
tac h;intros [> x y H | x y z Hxy Hxz | ...].
tac h;intros [> x y [H1 H2] | x y z [Hxy Hxz] H' | ...].
...

instead of

all:[> intros x y H | intros x y z Hxy Hxz | intros ...].
tac h ; [intros  x y H |intros  x y z Hxy Hxz | intros  ...].
tac h; [ intros x y [H1 H2] | intros x y z [Hxy Hxz] H' | ...].
...

Is it already possible? Would it be feasible?

in the latter case: is the problem with as clauses, or with _inversion_’s as clauses?

because generally, I think as is a better syntax than intros.

inversion is an exception — I’m not sure if it is designed for something, but it does not seem “name new things that you get in the context” — or at least not the ones after inversion; subst.

(I’m aware of inversion_clear H, but IIRC it is not an bug-free replacement of inversion H; subst; clear H)

What are things that intros cannot do?
The main problem with as is inversion... And all tactics that don’t support as. Like ˋdecomposeˋ or any user defined tactic.

I didn’t say that intros cannot do something, just expressed a preference on syntax... but I realize that ssreflect => supports what you want (but with ssreflect intro patterns).

ahem: it works after tac h => [x y H | x y z Hxy Hxz | ... ], not after all:
