This PR introduces a new fixpoint combinator,
`WellFounded.extrinsicFix`. A termination proof, if provided at all, can
be given extrinsically, i.e., looking at the term from the outside, and
is only required if one intends to formally verify the behavior of the
fixpoint. The new combinator is then applied to the iterator API.
Consumers such as `toList` or `ForIn` no longer require a proof that the
underlying iterator is finite. If one wants to ensure the termination of
them intrinsically, there are strictly terminating variants available
as, for example, `it.ensureTermination.toList` instead of `it.toList`.
This PR introduces a no-op version of `Shrink`, a type that should allow
shrinking small types into smaller universes given a proof that the type
is small enough, and uses it in the iterator library. Because this type
would require special compiler support, the current version is just a
wrapper around the inner type so that the wrapper is equivalent, but not
definitionally equivalent.
While `Shrink` is unable to shrink universes right now, but introducing
it now will allow us to generalize the universes in the iterator library
with fewer breaking changes as soon as an actual `Shrink` is possible.
This PR adds a benchmark for the persistent hashmap, in particular also
covering the non
linear insert case which is often hit in practical uses. Furthermore the
same test case is also
added to the treemap benchmark.
