This PR updates the formatting of, and adds explanations for, "unknown
identifier" errors as well as "failed to infer type" errors for binders
and definitions.
It attempts to ameliorate some of the confusion encountered in #1592 by
modifying the wording of the "header is elaborated before body is
processed" note and adding further discussion and examples of this
behavior in the corresponding error explanation.
This PR improves the “expected type mismatch” error message by omitting
the type's types when they are defeq, and putting them into separate
lines when not.
I found it rather tediuos to parse the error message when the expected
type is long, because I had to find the `:` in the middle of a large
expression somewhere. Also, when both are of sort `Prop` or `Type` it
doesn't add much value to print the sort (and it’s only one hover away
anyways).
This PR ensures that using `mapError` to expand an error message uses
`addMessageContext` to include the current context, so that expressions
are rendered correctly. Also adds a `preprendError` variant with a more
convenient argument order for the common cases of
prepending-and-indenting.
This PR improves the functional cases principles, by making a more
educated guess which function parameters should be targets and which
should remain parameters (or be dropped). This simplifies the
principles, and increases the chance that `fun_cases` can unfold the
function call.
Fixes#8296 (at least for the common cases, I hope.)
This PR refines the new wording of the "application type mismatch" error
message to avoid ambiguity in references to the "final" argument in a
subexpression that may be followed by additional arguments.
It does so by replacing "final" with "last," rephrasing the message so
that this adjective modifies the argument itself rather than the word
"argument," and only displaying this wording when two arguments could be
confused (determined by expression equality).
These changes were motivated by a report that in cases where a function
application `f a b c` fails to elaborate because `b` is incorrectly
typed, the existing error message's reference to `b` being the "final"
argument in the application `f a b` may create confusion because it is
not the final argument in the full application expression.
This PR improves the generation of `.induct_unfolding` by rewriting
`match` statements more reliably, using the new “congruence equations”
introduced in #8284. Fixes#8195.
