I made a few choices so far that can probably be discussed:
- got rid of `modn` on `UInt`, nobody seems to use it apart from the
definition of `shift` which can use normal `mod`
- removed the previous defeq optimized definition of `USize.size` in
favor for a normal one. The motivation was to allow `OfNat` to work
which doesn't seem to be necessary anymore afaict.
- Minimized uses of `.val`, should we maybe mark it deprecated?
- Mostly got rid of `.val` in basically all theorems as the proper next
level of API would now be `.toBitVec`. We could probably re-prove them
but it would be more annoying given the change of definition.
- Did not yet redefine `log2` in terms of `BitVec` as this would require
a `log2` in `BitVec` as well, do we want this?
- I added a couple of theorems around the relation of `<` on `UInt` and
`Nat`. These were previously not needed because defeq was used all over
the place to save us. I did not yet generalize these to all types as I
wasn't sure if they are the appropriate lemma that we want to have.
The `delabConstWithSignature` delaborator is responsible for pretty
printing constants with a declaration-like signature, with binders, a
colon, and a type. This is used by the `#check` command when it is given
just an identifier.
It used to accumulate binders from pi types indiscriminately, but this
led to unfriendly behavior. For example, `#check String.append` would
give
```
String.append (a✝ : String) (a✝¹ : String) : String
```
with inaccessible names. These appear because `String.append` is defined
using patterns, so it never names these parameters.
Now the delaborator stops accumulating binders once it reaches an
inaccessible name, and for example `#check String.append` now gives
```
String.append : String → String → String
```
We do not synthesize names for the sake of enabling binder syntax
because the binder names are part of the API of a function — one can use
`(arg := ...)` syntax to pass arguments by name. The delaborator also
now stops accumulating binders once it reaches a parameter with a name
already seen before — we then rely on the main delaborator to provide
that parameter with a fresh name when pretty printing the pi type.
As a special case, instance parameters with inaccessible names are
included as binders, pretty printing like `[LT α]`, rather than
relegating them (and all the remaining parameters) to after the colon.
It would be more accurate to pretty print this as `[inst✝ : LT α]`, but
we make the simplifying assumption that such instance parameters are
generally used via typeclass inference. Likely `inst✝` would not
directly appear in pretty printer output, and even if it appears in a
hover, users can likely figure out what is going on. (We may consider
making such `inst✝` variables pretty print as `‹LT α›` or
`infer_instance` in the future, to make this more consistent.)
Something we note here is that we do not do anything to make sure
parameters that can be used as named arguments actually appear named
after the colon (nor do we assure that the names are the correct names).
For example, one sees `foo : String → String → String` rather than `foo
: String → (baz : String) → String`. We can investigate this later if it
is wanted.
We also give `delabConstWithSignature` a `universes` flag to enable
turning off pretty printing universe levels parameters.
