This PR improves the error messages produced by invalid pattern-match
alternatives and improves parity in error placement between
pattern-matching tactics and elaborators.
Closes#7170
This PR modifies the pretty printing of pi types. Now `∀` will be
preferred over `→` for propositions if the domain is not a proposition.
For example, `∀ (n : Nat), True` pretty prints as `∀ (n : Nat), True`
rather than as `Nat → True`. There is also now an option `pp.foralls`
(default true) that when false disables using `∀` at all, for
pedagogical purposes. This PR also adjusts instance implicit binder
pretty printing — nondependent pi types won't show the instance binder
name. Closes#1834.
The linked RFC also suggests using `_` for binder names in case of
non-dependance. We're tabling that idea. Potentially it is useful for
hygienic names; this could improve how `Nat → True` pretty prints as `∀
(a : Nat), True`, with this `a` that's chosen by implication notation
elaboration. Relatedly, this PR exposes even further the issue where
binder names are reused in a confusing way. Consider: `Nat → Nat → (a :
Nat) → a = a` pretty prints as `∀ (a a a : Nat), a = a`.
Where before we had
```lean
#check fun x : Nat => ?a
-- fun x ↦ ?m.7 x : (x : Nat) → ?m.6 x
```
Now by default we have
```lean
#check fun x : Nat => ?a
-- fun x => ?a : (x : Nat) → ?m.6 x
```
In particular, delayed assignment metavariables such as `?m.7` pretty
print using the name of the metavariable they are delayed assigned to,
suppressing the bound variables used in the delayed assignment (hence
`?a` rather than `?a x`). Hovering over `?a` shows `?m.7 x`.
The benefit is that users can see the user-provided name in local
contexts. A justification for this pretty printing choice is that `?m.7
x` is supposed to stand for `?a`, and furthermore it is just as opaque
to assignment in defeq as `?a` is (however, when synthetic opaque
metavariables are made assignable, delayed assignments can be a little
less assignable than true synthetic opaque metavariables).
The original pretty printing behavior can be recovered using `set_option
pp.mvars.delayed true`.
This PR also extends the documentation for holes and synthetic holes,
with some technical details about what delayed assignments are. This
likely should be moved to the reference manual, but for now it is
included in this docstring.
(This PR is a simplified version of #3494, which has a round-trippable
notation for delayed assignments. The pretty printing in this PR is
unlikely to round trip, but it is better than the current situation,
which is that delayed assignment metavariables never round trip, and
plus it does not require introducing a new notation.)
