This PR is an effort to improve reasoning at the Nat level about
bitvectors and reduce of Fin and Nat.
It slightly tightens some proofs, but is generally aimed at reducing
inconsistencies between definitions at the Nat and Fin types in favor of
more consistently using Nat operations.
This ports leanprover/std4#664 to Lean core.
Here was the rational I provided in the discussion for
leanprover/std4#664:
It's mostly about consistency. If we use the same types and style in
definitions and proofs, there is less surprise when unfolding or
otherwise using definitions. We use some Nat based operations that
haven't been extended to Fin such as the bitwise operations, and I don't
want to pay the overhead of introducing a Fin version of every Bitvector
operation.
So this basically means Nat is preferred.
One argument potentially in favor of Fin is that we could reuse results
proven there, but that doesn't really seem to be the case so far.
A second argument is that we want to simplify expression to use more
canonical forms and we currently can pretty-print those operations
better using ofNat than ofFin. We could define the notations using ofFin
of course though, but that's additional operators that will show up in
expressions.
