`repeat tac` repeatedly applies `tac` to the main goal until it fails.
That is, if `tac` produces multiple subgoals, only subgoals up to the first failure will be visited.
The `Batteries` library provides `repeat'` which repeats separately in each subgoal.
`repeat tac` repeatedly applies `tac` so long as it succeeds.
The tactic `tac` may be a tactic sequence, and if `tac` fails at any point in its execution,
`repeat` will revert any partial changes that `tac` made to the tactic state.
The tactic `tac` should eventually fail, otherwise `repeat tac` will run indefinitely.
See also:
* `try tac` is like `repeat tac` but will apply `tac` at most once.
* `repeat' tac` recursively applies `tac` to each goal.
* `first | tac1 | tac2` implements the backtracking used by `repeat`

`repeat' tac` recursively applies `tac` on all of the goals so long as it succeeds.
That is to say, if `tac` produces multiple subgoals, then `repeat' tac` is applied to each of them.
See also:
* `repeat tac` simply repeatedly applies `tac`.
* `repeat1' tac` is `repeat' tac` but requires that `tac` succeed for some goal at least once.

`repeat1' tac` recursively applies to `tac` on all of the goals so long as it succeeds,
but `repeat1' tac` fails if `tac` succeeds on none of the initial goals.
See also:
* `repeat tac` simply applies `tac` repeatedly.
* `repeat' tac` is like `repeat1' tac` but it does not require that `tac` succeed at least once.
