Summary:
- Adds configuration option `exponentiation.threshold`
- An expression `b^n` where `b` and `n` are literals is not reduced by
`whnf`, `simp`, and `isDefEq` if `n > exponentiation.threshold`.
Motivation: prevents system from becoming irresponsive and/or crashing
without memory.
TODO: improve support in the kernel. It is using a hard-coded limit for
now.
Implements a new method to generate instance names for anonymous
instances that uses a heuristic that tends to produce shorter names. A
design goal is to make them relatively unique within projects and
definitely unique across projects, while also using accessible names so
that they can be referred to as needed, both in Lean code and in
discussions.
The new method also takes into account binders provided to the instance,
and it adds project-based suffixes. Despite this, a median new name is
73% its original auto-generated length. (Compare: [old generated
names](https://gist.github.com/kmill/b72bb43f5b01dafef41eb1d2e57a8237)
and [new generated
names](https://gist.github.com/kmill/393acc82e7a8d67fc7387829f4ed547e).)
Some notes:
* The naming is sensitive to what is explicitly provided as a binder vs
what is provided via a `variable`. It does not make use of `variable`s
since, when names are generated, it is not yet known which variables are
used in the body of the instance.
* If the instance name refers to declarations in the current "project"
(given by the root module), then it does not add a suffix. Otherwise, it
adds the project name as a suffix to protect against cross-project
collisions.
* `set_option trace.Elab.instance.mkInstanceName true` can be used to
see what name the auto-generator would give, even if the instance
already has an explicit name.
There were a number of instances that were referred to explicitly in
meta code, and these have been given explicit names.
Removes the unused `Lean.Elab.mkFreshInstanceName` along with the
Command state's `nextInstIdx`.
Fixes#2343
This changes how Nat typeclass checks in offset terms from syntactic
equality to definitional equality with "instances" transparency.
This may have a negative performance penalty in `isOffset?`, but it
should be small in common cases since the relevant instances are small
terms.
This closes#3836
closes#3022
With this commit, given the declaration
```
def foo : Nat → Nat
| 0 => 2
| n + 1 => foo n
```
when we unfold `foo (n+1)`, we now obtain `foo n` instead of `foo
(Nat.add n 0)`.
This issue is similar to a bug where `isDefEqOffset` was exposing
`Nat.add` when processing `HAdd.hAdd`.
Fixes#561
The example at issue #561 is now working, but we may have other places
where raw literals are being accidentally exposed.
Before this commit, each `isDefEq u v` invocation would fail if there
were pending universe level constraints. This commit, moves the
postponed universe constraints back to the `MetaM` state.
It also adds the combinator
```lean
withoutPostponingUniverseConstraints x
```
which executes `x` and throws an error if there are pending universe
constraints. We use the combinator at `elabApp` and `elabBinders`.
Without this commit, we would fail to elaborate simple terms such as
```lean
Functor.map Prod.fst (x s)
```
because after elaborating `Prod.fst` and trying to ensure its type
match the expected one, we would be stuck at the universe constraint:
```
u =?= max u ?v
```
Another benefit of the new approach is better error messages. Instead
of getting a mysterious type mismatch constraint, we get a list of
universe contraints the system is stuck at.

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`.
