Comment from parser.h
This commit makes sure that all declaration parameters must be surrounded with some kind of bracket. (e.g., '()', '{}', '[]').
The goal is to avoid counter-intuitive declarations such as:
example p : false := trivial
def main proof : false := trivial
which would be parsed as
example (p : false) : _ := trivial
def main (proof : false) : _ := trivial
where `_` in both cases is elaborated into `true`. This issue was raised by @gebner in the slack channel.
Remark: we still want implicit delimiters for lambda/pi expressions. That is, we want to write
fun x : t, s
or
fun x, s
instead of
fun (x : t), s
we must also check the universe levels when applying the optimization for
constraints of the form:
f.{l_1 ... l_k} a_1 ... a_n =?= f.{l_1' ... l_k'} b_1 ... b_n
The optimization tries to avoid unfolding f if we can establish that
a_i is definitionally equal to b_i for each i in [1, n]
