This is the equivalent of the `ginduction` tactic for cases, but rolled into the same syntax as `cases` itself. `cases h : term` is the syntax, and it will introduce a hypothesis `h : term = C a b...` demonstrating that the original term is equal to the current case.
I considered the possibility of calling `injection` on the generated equalities, but it's useless in the casaes when the equality carries some real information (such as `f x = C1 a`), and when the input term is a local constant, `injection` will do subst, which will undo the effect of the `cases`. If the input term is a constructor, then `injection` would do something interesting, but you would never want to call `cases` in this case because the constructor is already exposed.
