This PR improves indexing for `grind` patterns. We now include symbols
occurring in nested ground patterns. This important to minimize the
number of activated E-match theorems.
This PR implements the option `revert`, which is set to `false` by
default. To recover the old `grind` behavior, you should use `grind
+revert`. Previously, `grind` used the `RevSimpIntro` idiom, i.e., it
would revert all hypotheses and then re-introduce them while simplifying
and applying eager `cases`. This idiom created several problems:
* Users reported that `grind` would include unnecessary parameters. See
[here](https://leanprover.zulipchat.com/#narrow/channel/270676-lean4/topic/Grind.20aggressively.20includes.20local.20hypotheses.2E/near/554887715).
* Unnecessary section variables were also being introduced. See the new
test contributed by Sebastian Graf.
* Finally, it prevented us from supporting arbitrary parameters as we do
in `simp`. In `simp`, I implemented a mechanism that simulates local
universe-polymorphic theorems, but this approach could not be used in
`grind` because there is no mechanism for reverting (and re-introducing)
local universe-polymorphic theorems. Adding such a mechanism would
require substantial work: I would need to modify the local context
object. I considered maintaining a substitution from the original
variables to the new ones, but this is also tricky, because the mapping
would have to be stored in the `grind` goal objects, and it is not just
a simple mapping. After reverting everything, I would need to keep a
sequence of original variables that must be added to the mapping as we
re-introduce them, but eager case splits complicate this quite a bit.
The whole approach felt overly messy.
The new behavior `grind -revert` addresses all these issues. None of the
`grind` proofs in our test suite broke after we fixed the bugs exposed
by the new feature. That said, the traces and counterexamples produced
by `grind` are different. The new proof terms are also different.
This PR simplifies the `grind order` module, and internalizes the order
constraints. It removes the `Offset` type class because it introduced
too much complexity. We now cover the same use cases with a simpler
approach:
- Any type that implements at least `Std.IsPreorder`
- Arbitrary ordered rings.
- `Nat` by the `Nat.ToInt` adapter.
This PR improves the startup time for `grind ring` by generating the
required type classes on demand. This optimization is particularly
relevant for files that make hundreds of calls to `grind`, such as
`tests/lean/run/grind_bitvec2.lean`. For example, before this change,
`grind` spent 6.87 seconds synthesizing type classes, compared to 3.92
seconds after this PR.
This PR implements the Rabinowitsch transformation for `Field`
disequalities in `grind`. For example, this transformation is necessary
for solving:
```lean
example [Field α] (a : α) : a^2 = 0 → a = 0 := by
grind
```
This PR simplifies the interface between the `grind` core and the cutsat
procedure. Before this PR, core would try to minimize the number of
numeric literals that have to be internalized in cutsat. This
optimization was buggy (see `grind_cutsat_zero.lean` test), and produced
counterintuitive counterexamples.
