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
Makes `MessageData.ofConstName` available without needing to import the
pretty printer. Any code making use of `MessageData` can write `m!" ...
{.ofConstName n} ... "` to have the name print with hover information.
More error messages now have hover information.
* Now `.ofConstName` also has a boolean flag to make names print fully
qualified. Default: false.
* Now `.ofConstName` will sanitize names that aren't constants. It is OK
to use it in `"unknown constant '{.ofConstName constName}'"` errors.
Usability note: it is more user-friendly to have "has already been
declared" errors report the fully qualified name. For this, write
`m!"{.ofConstName n true} has already been declared"`.
They are all in `MetaM`.
These are helper functions for issue #1237. We need to "cleanup" the
local context before trying to compile the match-expression.
see issue #1237
We annotate patterns with the corresponding `Syntax` during
elaboration, and do not populate the info tree. Reason: the set of
pattern variables is not known during pattern elaboration.
@Kha I marked the corresponding methods as `protected`.
I currently can't stand `throw_error`, and I am optimistic about
server highlighting feature you are working on :)
@Kha This one required a bunch of manual fixes. The main issue is that
before we added the string interpolation feature, we created
`MessageData`s using `++` and coercions. For example, given
`(e : Expr)`, we would write
```
let msg : MessageData := "type: " ++ e
```
and rely on the coercions `String -> MessageData` and
`Expr -> MessageData`, and the instance `Append MessageData`.
However, heterogeneous operators "block" the expected type propagation downwards.
This kind of code is obsolete now since we can write a more compact
version using string interpolation
```
let msg := m!"type: {e}"
```
@Kha I was tired of writing `arbitrary _` :)
There 0 places in the stdlib where the type needs to be provided.
If in the future we need to specify the type we can use
`arbitrary (α := <type>)`
