For example, the following definition did not work before this commit:
protected meta def map {α β} (f : α → β) : lazy_tactic α → lazy_tactic β
| t s := (t s)^.for (λ ⟨a, new_s⟩, (f a, new_s))
(Type u) is the old (Type (u+1))
(PType u) is the old (Type u)
Type* is the old (Type (_+1))
PType* is the old Type*
The stdlib can be compiled, but we still have > 70 broken tests
See discussion at #1341
In the standard library, we should use explicit universe variables for
universe polymorphic definitions.
Users that want to declare universe polymorphic definitions but do not
want to provide universe level parameters should use
Type _
or
Type*
