       The `emp` regexp does not match any search path while `eps`
       matches the empty path. During proof search, the path of
       successive successful hints on a search branch is recorded, as a

       Before applying any hint :n:`@ident` the current path `p` extended with
       :n:`@ident` is matched against the current cut expression `c` associated to
       the hint database. If matching succeeds, the hint is *not* applied. The
-      semantics of ``Hint Cut e`` is to set the cut expression to ``c | e``, the
