This PR lets recursive functions defined by well-founded recursion use a
different `fix` function when the termination measure is of type `Nat`.
This fix-point operator use structural recursion on “fuel”, initialized
by the given measure, and is thus reasonable to reduce, e.g. in `by
decide` proofs.
Extra provisions are in place that the fixpoint operator only starts
reducing when the fuel is fully known, to prevent “accidential” defeqs
when the remaining fuel for the recursive calls match the initial fuel
for that recursive argument.
To opt-out, the idiom `termination_by (n,0)` can be used.
We still use `@[irreducible]` as the default for such recursive
definitions, to avoid unexpected `defeq` lemmas. Making these functions
`@[semireducible]` by default showed performance regressions in lean.
When the measure is of type `Nat`, the system will accept an explicit
`@[semireducible]` without the usual warning.
Fixes#5234. Fixes: #11181.
This PR changes how sparse case expressions represent the
none-of-the-above information. Instead of of many `x.ctorIdx ≠ i`
hypotheses, it introduces a single `Nat.hasNotBit mask x.ctorIdx`
hypothesis which compresses that information into a bitmask. This avoids
a quadratic overhead during splitter generation, where all n assumptions
would be refined through `.subst` and `.cases` constructions for all n
assumption of the splitter alternative.
The definition of `Nat.hasNotBit` uses `Nat.rightShift` which is fiddly
to get to reduce well, especially on open terms and with `Meta.whnf`.
Some experimentation was needed to find proof terms that work, these are
all put together in the `Lean.Meta.HasNotBit` module.
Fixes#11183
