This command redefines a previous ``mutable`` definition.
Mutable definitions act like dynamic binding, i.e. at runtime, the last defined
value for this entry is chosen. This is useful for global flags and the like.
+ The previous value of the binding can be optionally accessed using the `as`
+ binding syntax.

+ identifier to an |Ltac| variable, and this issue should
+ disappear in a future version of |Coq|; see `#12179
+ <https://github.com/coq/coq/issues/12179>`_.
+
+ .. example::
+
+ .. coqtop:: all reset abort
+
+ Opaque id.
+ Goal id 10 = 10.
+ Fail unfold id.
+ Fail with_strategy transparent [id] unfold id.
+ let id' := id in with_strategy transparent [id] unfold id'.
+
+ .. warning::
+
+ Use this tactic with care, as effects do not persist past the
+ end of the proof script. Notably, this fine-tuning of the
+ conversion strategy is not in effect during :cmd:`Qed` nor
+ :cmd:`Defined`, so this tactic is most useful either in
+ combination with :tacn:`abstract`, which will check the proof
+ early while the fine-tuning is still in effect, or to guard
+ calls to conversion in tactic automation to ensure that, e.g.,
+ :tacn:`unfold` does not fail just because the user made a
+ constant :cmd:`Opaque`.
+
+ This can be illustrated with the following example involving the
+ factorial function.
+
+ .. coqtop:: in reset
+
+ Fixpoint fact (n : nat) : nat :=
+ match n with
+ | 0 => 1
+ | S n' => n * fact n'
+ end.
+
+ Suppose now that, for whatever reason, we want in general to
+ unfold the :g:`id` function very late during conversion:
+
+ .. coqtop:: in
+
+ Strategy 1000 [id].
+
+ If we try to prove :g:`id (fact n) = fact n` by
+ :tacn:`reflexivity`, it will now take time proportional to
+ :math:`n!`, because |Coq| will keep unfolding :g:`fact` and
+ :g:`*` and :g:`+` before it unfolds :g:`id`, resulting in a full
+ computation of :g:`fact n` (in unary, because we are using
+ :g:`nat`), which takes time :math:`n!`. We can see this cross
+ the relevant threshold at around :math:`n = 9`:
+
+ .. coqtop:: all abort
+
+ Goal True.
+ Time assert (id (fact 8) = fact 8) by reflexivity.
+ Time assert (id (fact 9) = fact 9) by reflexivity.
+
+ Note that behavior will be the same if you mark :g:`id` as
+ :g:`Opaque` because while most reduction tactics refuse to
+ unfold :g:`Opaque` constants, conversion treats :g:`Opaque` as
+ merely a hint to unfold this constant last.
+
+ We can get around this issue by using :tacn:`with_strategy`:
+
+ .. coqtop:: all
+
+ Goal True.
+ Fail Timeout 1 assert (id (fact 100) = fact 100) by reflexivity.
+ Time assert (id (fact 100) = fact 100) by with_strategy -1 [id] reflexivity.
+
+ However, when we go to close the proof, we will run into
+ trouble, because the reduction strategy changes are local to the
+ tactic passed to :tacn:`with_strategy`.
+
+ .. coqtop:: all abort fail
+
+ exact I.
+ Timeout 1 Defined.
+
+ We can fix this issue by using :tacn:`abstract`:
+
+ .. coqtop:: all
+
+ Goal True.
+ Time assert (id (fact 100) = fact 100) by with_strategy -1 [id] abstract reflexivity.
+ exact I.
+ Time Defined.
+
+ On small examples this sort of behavior doesn't matter, but
+ because |Coq| is a super-linear performance domain in so many
+ places, unless great care is taken, tactic automation using
+ :tacn:`with_strategy` may not be robustly performant when
+ scaling the size of the input.
+
+ .. warning::
+
+ In much the same way this tactic does not play well with
+ :cmd:`Qed` and :cmd:`Defined` without using :tacn:`abstract` as
+ an intermediary, this tactic does not play well with ``coqchk``,
+ even when used with :tacn:`abstract`, due to the inability of
+ tactics to persist information about conversion hints in the
+ proof term. See `#12200
+ <https://github.com/coq/coq/issues/12200>`_ for more details.
