Where before we had
```lean
#check fun x : Nat => ?a
-- fun x ↦ ?m.7 x : (x : Nat) → ?m.6 x
```
Now by default we have
```lean
#check fun x : Nat => ?a
-- fun x => ?a : (x : Nat) → ?m.6 x
```
In particular, delayed assignment metavariables such as `?m.7` pretty
print using the name of the metavariable they are delayed assigned to,
suppressing the bound variables used in the delayed assignment (hence
`?a` rather than `?a x`). Hovering over `?a` shows `?m.7 x`.
The benefit is that users can see the user-provided name in local
contexts. A justification for this pretty printing choice is that `?m.7
x` is supposed to stand for `?a`, and furthermore it is just as opaque
to assignment in defeq as `?a` is (however, when synthetic opaque
metavariables are made assignable, delayed assignments can be a little
less assignable than true synthetic opaque metavariables).
The original pretty printing behavior can be recovered using `set_option
pp.mvars.delayed true`.
This PR also extends the documentation for holes and synthetic holes,
with some technical details about what delayed assignments are. This
likely should be moved to the reference manual, but for now it is
included in this docstring.
(This PR is a simplified version of #3494, which has a round-trippable
notation for delayed assignments. The pretty printing in this PR is
unlikely to round trip, but it is better than the current situation,
which is that delayed assignment metavariables never round trip, and
plus it does not require introducing a new notation.)
Recall that currently named arguments suppress all explicit parameters
that are dependencies. This PR limits this feature to only apply to true
structure projections, except in the case where it is triggered when
there are no more positional arguments. This preserves the primary
reason for generalizing this feature (issue #1851), while removing the
generalized feature, which has led to numerous confusions (issue #1867).
This also fixes a bug pointed out [on
Zulip](https://leanprover.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/270676-lean4/topic/.40foo.20.28A.20.3A.3D.20bar.29.20_.20_/near/468564862)
where in `@` mode, instance implicit parameter dependencies to named
arguments would be suppressed unless the next positional argument was
`_`.
More detail:
* The `NamedArg` structure now has a `suppressDeps : Bool` field. It is
set to `true` for the `self` argument in structure projections. If there
is such a `NamedArg`, explicit parameters that are dependencies to the
named argument are turned into implicit arguments. The consequence is
that *all* structure projections are treated as if their type parameters
are implicit, even for class projections. This flag is *not* used for
generalized field notation.
* We preserve the suppression feature when there are no positional
arguments remaining. This feature pre-dates the fix to issue #1851, and
it is useful when combining named arguments and the eta expansion
feature, since dependencies of named arguments cannot be turned into eta
arguments. Plus, there are examples of the form `rw [lem (h := foo)]`
where `lem` has explicit arguments that `h` depends on.
* For instance implicit parameters in explicit mode, now `_` arguments
register terminfo and are hoverable.
* Now `..` is respected in explicit mode.
This implements RFC #5397. The `suppressDeps` flag suggests a future
possibility of a named argument syntax that can suppress dependencies.
