I for one greatly prefer #920. Let's keep the discussion going there. |

Something a little controversial to think about.
Vampire builds massive iterator chains in order to carry out inference. However, all of them end up being consumed and passed through
SaturationAlgorithmmore-or-less unconditionally.This PR adds a parallel method to e.g.
GeneratingInferenceEnginethat implements internal iteration rather than constructing aClauseIterator, i.e.I've re-plumbed
SaturationAlgorithmto use internal iteration at clause activation.The pay-off for all this is that writing inferences is often much more straightforward, easier to debug and possibly more performant. I've changed
Factoringas a demonstration.(also renamed
SimplifyingGeneratingInferenceSimplifyingGeneratingInferenceEnginebecause it was confusing me)This is just a proof of concept and would need more attention if we want to go ahead with it.
