@Kha We will probably have to refine the heuristic for hiding the
inaccessible names, but the first version is already useful.
Here is the error message for a `_` before this commit
```
error: don't know how to synthesize placeholder
context:
x✝⁴ : List Nat
x✝³ : Nat
x✝² : x✝⁴ ≠ []
a b x✝¹ : Nat
x✝ : [a, b] ≠ []
⊢ Nat
```
After
```
error: don't know how to synthesize placeholder
a b : Nat
: [a, b] ≠ []
⊢ Nat
```
We need `MetaM` methods such as `isProp` to improve `ppGoal`.
This commit also moves `currNamespace` and `openDecls` to
`Core.Context`. Without this change, `Meta.ppExpr` was not taking
`open` commands into account.
@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>)`
There is no reason for having `MonadIO` anymore. The `MonadLift` type
class is well behaved in the new frontend, the `MonadFinally` solves
the problem at monad stacks such as `ExcepT e IO`.
This commit also changes the type of the IO printing functions.
For example, the type of `IO.println` was
```
def IO.println {m} [MonadIO m] {α} [ToString α] (s : α) : m Unit
```
and now it is just
```
def IO.println {α} [ToString α] (s : α) : IO Unit
```
We rely on the new frontend auto-lifting feature.
That is, if there is an instance `[MonadLiftT IO m]`, then
a term of type `IO a` is automatically coerced to `m a`
We also want a simpler `IO.println` for writing tests.
For example,
```
```
doesn't work because there isn't sufficient information for inferring
the parameter `m` in the previous `IO.println`.
The shortest workaround looked very weird
```
```
I considered adding `IO` as a default value for `m` when we have
`MonadIO m`, as we use `Nat` as the default for `ofNat a`, but it felt
like uncessary complexity.
@Kha The commit seems to work well. The auto-lifting featuring has
been working great for me. There is still room for improvement.
For example, given `MonadLiftT m n`, it doesn't automatically lift
`a -> m b` into `a -> n b`. So, code such as
`foo >>= IO.println`
had to be rewritten as
`foo >>= fun x => IO.println x`
I will add this feature later.
If you have time, please try to play with this feature and figure out
if it is stable enough for making it the default.
That is, if it roboust enough, we can stop using the following idiom
for writing functions that can be lifted automatically.
```
def instantiateLevelMVarsImp (u : Level) : MetaM Level :=
...
def instantiateLevelMVars {m} [MonadLiftT MetaM m] (u : Level) : m Level :=
liftMetaM $ instantiateLevelMVarsImp u
```
I think we only need this idiom when using `MonadControlT` which is
not as common as `MonadLiftT`.
Before we moved to the new frontend, we used to simulate mutual
recursion using high order functions + `[specialize]`. This is not
needed anymore, and the new generated code is more efficient and compact.
@Kha I don't usually indent `mutual` blocks, but I found it helpful
for big ones like this one. Not sure whether we should keep indenting
them or not.
`MacroM` will implement `MonadRef` because
1- It will be easier to throw errors from macros
2- We will be able to `getRef` to retrieve the syntax node at macro
rules.
I renamed `Ref` to `MonadRef` to make it consistent with other classes
providing monadic methods (e.g. `MonadEnv`, `MonadState`, etc).
