That would be very helpful. Tuareg mode is far from ideal for HOL Light 
(especially when handling backquoted terms and tacticals).

The macros nicely automate what I (at least) do very often manually.

Tactician is more general and gives you a full breakdown of the packaged 
proof in interactive steps (and vice-versa), at the cost of having to 
reconstruct core HOL Light data structures. Of course Mark would be much 
better at explaining more details.

One advantage that I can think of is when you wish to go through the 
proof of one particular subgoal. This may be confusing if you are 
executing packaged proof steps (e.g. if other subgoals are proven 
simultaneously).

Regards,
Petros
