closes#1814
@kenmcmil: the error messages will now list aliased variables.
For example, in your file, the new error message is:
```
invalid type ascription, term has type
triple (ctxpre c' s_1 ∧ ctxpre c'_1 s_1) (bndngapp b s_1) (ctxpost c' s_1 ∧ ctxpost c'_1 s_1)
but is expected to have type
triple (ctxpre c' s_1 ∧ ctxpre c'_1 s_1) (bndngapp b s_1) (ctxpost c' s_1 ∧ ctxpost c'_1 s_1)
types contain aliased name(s): c'
remark: the tactic `dedup` can be used to rename aliases
state:
...
```
This is the equivalent of the `ginduction` tactic for cases, but rolled into the same syntax as `cases` itself. `cases h : term` is the syntax, and it will introduce a hypothesis `h : term = C a b...` demonstrating that the original term is equal to the current case.
I considered the possibility of calling `injection` on the generated equalities, but it's useless in the casaes when the equality carries some real information (such as `f x = C1 a`), and when the input term is a local constant, `injection` will do subst, which will undo the effect of the `cases`. If the input term is a constructor, then `injection` would do something interesting, but you would never want to call `cases` in this case because the constructor is already exposed.
To make the equation compiler more convenient to use, we will add a
couple of preprocessing steps.
This commit adds the first one of them. In this step, we use
type inference to refine pattern variables, and we relax the
restrictions on inaccessible annotations.
We will also add a preprocessing step that implements the "complete
transition" step before we execute the elim_match step.
Now tactics supporting locations can also specify the goal among the locations by using the name `⊢` or `|-`. Also `rw at *` is implemented so that it will rewrite any hypotheses or the goal for which the whole sequence of rewrites succeeds. (This is different from `rw at h1 h2 ... hn |-`, which requires that all rewrites run to completion on each specified target.)
and all/any_goals. This occurs when solving the first subgoal generated by `tac1; tac2` closes the second goal as well, before the second `tac2` invocation is run. Reported by @jldodds on gitter.
We need this feature for:
1) Defining nonlinear search patterns. Example: (?m <= ?m + 1)
2) Preprocessing recursive equations and support the pattern
refinement approach used in Agda. Example: in Agda, they accept
```
def append {A : Type} : Π (m n : nat), Vec A m -> Vec A n -> Vec A (m + n)
| m n nil ys := ys
| m n (cons m' x xs) ys := cons x (append m' n xs ys)
```
These equations have to be refined. For example, `m` has to be
replaced with `0` (in the first equation), and `succ m'` in the
second. To implement this kind of refinement, we need to convert
the pattern variables (local constants) into metavariables during
elaboration. Then, the unassigned metavariables become local constants
again. This preprocessing step will fix some of the issues on #1594.
To completely fix#1594, we will need yet another preprocessing step
which will implement "complete transition" used in the equation
compiler before we start elim_match.cpp
