@Kha I did not implement support for reassignments and `continue`,
`break`, `return` inside the `finally` clause. It is doable, but it
feels like unnecessary complexity. We currently don't have any
instance in our code base where this would be useful.
@Kha The new `do` notation works for pure code too.
It automatically inserts `Id` if the expected type is not a monad.
This works great when we are not conflating data and control.
After deleting `Monad List`, we will be able to write functions such as
```lean
def mapWhen (p : Nat → Bool) (f : Nat → Nat) (xs : List Nat) : List Nat := do
for x in xs do
if p x then
x := f x
```
without adding `Id.run` before the `do`.
In the following example, the output produced by `dbgTrace!` was not
being captured. It could break the lean server. At least, it broke the lean4-mode.
```lean
def f (x : Nat) : Nat :=
dbgTrace! ">>> " ++ toString x;
x + 1
eval f 10
```

@Kha I am also tracking `currNamespace` and `openDecls`.
BTW, I also tried an experiment where I added `currNamespace` and
`openDecls` to `Meta.Context`, but it looked weird. This information
is only needed in the elaborator and pretty printer.
The `PPContext` object should contain everything you need. You
can put `currNamespace` and `openDecls` in the `Delaborator.Context`.
@Kha We currently have a few macros that create binder names
such as `x`. These macros rely on the hygienic framework. This part is
great. Before this commit we were simply erasing the macro
scopes when creating the actual binders at `Expr.lean`.
The result produced expressions that were hard to debug.
For example, consider the following scenario
1- Macro creates a few binder names using ``x <- `(x)``
2- We create a lambda expression `t` with these binder names.
3- Then, we use `lambdaTelescope t fun xs body => ...`
Now, if we trace `xs` and `body`, we get `#[x, x, ... x]` and
we can't distinguish the different `x`s in `body`.
So, it is really hard to debug anything using the traces.
This commit adds `Name.simpMacroScopes` for simplying "macro scoped"
names. Example: given `x._@.Init.Data.List.Basic._hyg.2.5`, it
produces `x.2.5`. I exported this function, and used it in the old
pretty printer.
I have considered modifying `lambdaTelescope` to make sure it creates
unused names. I think this option is bad because it introduces
overhead, and in a few places we want to preserve the binder names.
I have also considered replacing the `let x := x.eraseMacroScopes` at
`Expr.lean` with `let x := x.simpMacroScopes`. I think this option is
bad since we are destroying scoping information and will not be able
to distiguish which variables have macro scopes when processing
tactics.
Anyway, the solution in this commit is good for this week, but we
should discuss a more permanent solution next week.
