@Kha This one required a bunch of manual fixes. The main issue is that
before we added the string interpolation feature, we created
`MessageData`s using `++` and coercions. For example, given
`(e : Expr)`, we would write
```
let msg : MessageData := "type: " ++ e
```
and rely on the coercions `String -> MessageData` and
`Expr -> MessageData`, and the instance `Append MessageData`.
However, heterogeneous operators "block" the expected type propagation downwards.
This kind of code is obsolete now since we can write a more compact
version using string interpolation
```
let msg := m!"type: {e}"
```
@Kha `withReader` is a well-behaved version of `adaptReader`. `adaptReader` is
too general, and it often produces counterintuitive elaboration
errors.
Here are two super annoying issues I hit all the time:
1- `adaptReader` + polymorphic code
```
def ex1 : ReaderT Nat IO Unit :=
adaptReader (fun x => x + 1) $
IO.println "foo" -- 3 Errors here failed to synthesize `Monad ?m` and `MonadIO ?m`, and don't know how to synthesize `Type → Type`
```
2- `adaptReader` and notation that requires the expected type
```
structure Context :=
(x y : Nat)
def ex2 : ReaderT Context IO Nat :=
adaptReader (fun s => { s with x := 10 }) $ -- Error at the structure instance
...
```
In the example above, I have to write `fun (s : Context) => ...` to
fix the problem.
The two problems above happen in the old and new frontends. However,
there is a new problem specific for the new frontend. In the new
frontend, a `do` is only elaborated when the expected type is known.
So, `adaptReader (fun ctx => ...) do ...` seldom works :(
As I said above, the issue is that `adaptReader` is too general. Its
type is
```
{ρ ρ' : Type u_1} → {m m' : Type u_1 → Type u_2} → [MonadReaderAdapter ρ ρ' m m'] → {α : Type u_1} → (ρ' → ρ) → m α → m' α
```
`withReader` is a simpler version of `adaptReader`
```
withReader : {ρ : Type u_1} → {m : Type u_1 → Type u_2} → [MonadWithReader ρ m] → {α : Type u_1} → (ρ → ρ) → m α → m α
```
It doesn't have any of the problems above. Moreover, I managed to replace
every single instance of `adaptReader` with `withReader` at the stdlib
and tests. We don't need the `adaptReader` generality.
This commit adds
- `addContext : MessageData -> m MessageData` method. We need it to
make sure we wrap the message with the current context. Before this
commit I had to redefine `trace` for `MetaM`, `SynthM`, and
`TermElabM`.
- polymorphic `traceM` method.
