during the execution of c, it can backtrack and try b instead of a.
* New tactical (once a) removes all the backtracking points from a
(i.e. it selects the first success of a).
- * Tactic "constructor" is now fully backtracking, thus deprecating
- the need of the undocumented "constructor <tac>" syntax which is
- now equivalent to "[> once (constructor; tac) ..]". (potential
- source of rare incompatibilities).
+ * Tactic "constructor" is now fully backtracking. In case of
+ incompatibilities (e.g. combinatoric explosion), the former
+ behavior of "constructor" can be retrieved by using instead
+ "[> once constructor ..]". Thanks to backtracking, undocumented
+ "constructor <tac>" syntax is now equivalent to
+ "[> once (constructor; tac) ..]".
* New "multimatch" variant of "match" tactic which backtracks to
new branches in case of a later failure. The "match" tactic is
equivalent to "once multimatch".
