Consider the following toy exercise:
Theorem swap_id: forall (m n : nat), m = n -> (m, n) = (n, m).
Proof.
intros m n H.
At this point I have the following:
1 subgoal
m, n : nat
H : m = n
______________________________________(1/1)
(m, n) = (n, m)
I would like to split the goal into two subgoals, m = n
and n = m
. Is there a tactic which does that?

Solve using the f_equal
tactic:
Theorem test: forall (m n : nat), m = n -> (m, n) = (n, m).
Proof.
intros m n H. f_equal.
With state:
2 subgoals
m, n : nat
H : m = n
______________________________________(1/2)
m = n
______________________________________(2/2)
n = m
