As per dicussion with team colleages, the feature shouldn’t be called
“auto attach” but rather “well-founded recursion preprocessing” to avoid
(imprecise) jargon.
This PR adds support for changing the binder annotations of existing
variables to and from strict-implicit and instance-implicit using the
`variable` command.
This PR requires a stage0 update to fully take effect.
Closes#6078
This PR splits the environment used by the kernel from that used by the
elaborator, providing the foundation for tracking of asynchronously
elaborated declarations, which will exist as a concept only in the
latter.
Minor changes:
* kernel diagnostics are moved from an environment extension to a direct
environment as they are the only extension used directly by the kernel
* `initQuot` is moved from an environment header field to a direct
environment as it is the only header field used by the kernel; this also
makes the remaining header immutable after import
This PR modifies structure instance notation and `where` notation to use
the same notation for fields. Structure instance notation now admits
binders, type ascriptions, and equations, and `where` notation admits
full structure lvals. Examples of these for structure instance notation:
```lean
structure PosFun where
f : Nat → Nat
pos : ∀ n, 0 < f n
def p : PosFun :=
{ f n := n + 1
pos := by simp }
def p' : PosFun :=
{ f | 0 => 1
| n + 1 => n + 1
pos := by rintro (_|_) <;> simp }
```
Just like for the structure `where` notation, a field `f x y z : ty :=
val` expands to `f := fun x y z => (val : ty)`. The type ascription is
optional.
The PR also is setting things up for future expansion. Pending some
discussion, in the future structure/`where` notation could have have
embedded `where` clauses; rather than `{ a := { x := 1, y := z } }` one
could write `{ a where x := 1; y := z }`.
