Although `HEq` was abbreviated as `≍` in #8503, many instances of the
form `HEq x y` still remain.
Therefore, I searched for occurrences of `HEq x y` using the regular
expression `(?<![A-Za-z/@]|``)HEq(?![A-Za-z.])` and replaced as many as
possible with the form `x ≍ y`.
@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This kind of code is obsolete now since we can write a more compact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}"
```
The idea is to make clear that the field `posponed` is transient
state. It is only used during `isDefEq`.
The refactoring was motivated by a bug I found where the `posponed`
constraints were not being handled correctly. For example,
the `check (e : Expr)` method was returning `true`, but leaving pending
universe constraints at `postponed`.
