  By closed, do you mean no evars, or no local variables?

Sorry, I was not clear. I want to only strongly normalize closed subterms of the type and leave the rest unchanged.

Sorry, that only does goal, but doing the context isn't much different

Here is a slow tactic to do this:

Ltac norm T :=

  repeat match goal with

          | [ |- context [?e] ] => let e' := eval vm_compute in (e : T) in progress change e with e'

         end.

You may want a different typing check if you don't want coercion insertion or only want to check up to syntactic typing rather than unification.

Is there a tactic to strongly normalize all closed terms of a given type in the Coq goal and context?

Is there a way to write such a tactic in Ltac/Ltac2/Mtac2.... ?
