This PR adds a convenience command `#info_trees in`, which prints the
info trees generated by the following command. It is useful for
debugging or learning about `InfoTree`.
This PR adds a `recommended_spelling` command, which can be used for
recording the recommended spelling of a notation (for example, that the
recommended spelling of `∧` in identifiers is `and`). This information
is then appended to the relevant docstrings for easy lookup.
The function `Lean.Elab.Term.Doc.allRecommendedSpellings` may be used to
obtain a list of all recommended spellings, for example to create a
table that is part of a style guide. In the future, it might be
desirable to be able to partition such a table into smaller tables by
category. This can be added in a future PR.
The implementation is heavily inspired by #4490.
This refactors and improves the `#eval` command, introducing some new
features.
* Now evaluated results can be represented using `ToExpr` and pretty
printing. This means **hoverable output**. If `ToExpr` fails, it then
tries `Repr` and then `ToString`. The `eval.pp` option controls whether
or not to try `ToExpr`.
* There is now **auto-derivation** of `Repr` instances, enabled with the
`pp.derive.repr` option (default to **true**). For example:
```lean
inductive Baz
| a | b
#eval Baz.a
-- Baz.a
```
It simply does `deriving instance Repr for Baz` when there's no way to
represent `Baz`. If core Lean gets `ToExpr` derive handlers, they could
be used here as well.
* The option `eval.type` controls whether or not to include the type in
the output. For now the default is false.
* Now things like `#eval do return 2` work. It tries using
`CommandElabM`, `TermElabM`, or `IO` when the monad is unknown.
* Now there is no longer `Lean.Eval` or `Lean.MetaEval`. These each used
to be responsible for both adapting monads and printing results. The
concerns have been split into two. (1) The `MonadEval` class is
responsible for adapting monads for evaluation (it is similar to
`MonadLift`, but instances are allowed to use default data when
initializing state) and (2) finding a way to represent results is
handled separately.
* Error messages about failed instance synthesis are now more precise.
Once it detects that a `MonadEval` class applies, then the error message
will be specific about missing `ToExpr`/`Repr`/`ToString` instances.
* Fixes a bug where `Repr`/`ToString` instances can't be found by
unfolding types "under the monad". For example, this works now:
```lean
def Foo := List Nat
def Foo.mk (l : List Nat) : Foo := l
#eval show Lean.CoreM Foo from do return Foo.mk [1,2,3]
```
* Elaboration errors now abort evaluation. This eliminates some
not-so-relevant error messages.
* Now evaluating a value of type `m Unit` never prints a blank message.
* Fixes bugs where evaluating `MetaM` and `CoreM` wouldn't collect log
messages.
The `run_cmd`, `run_elab`, and `run_meta` commands are now frontends for
`#eval`.
This is the groundwork for a tactic index in generated documentation, as
there was in Lean 3. There are a few challenges to getting this to work
well in Lean 4:
* There's no natural notion of *tactic identity* - a tactic may be
specified by multiple syntax rules (e.g. the pattern-matching version of
`intro` is specified apart from the default version, but both are the
same from a user perspective)
* There's no natural notion of *tactic name* - here, we take the
pragmatic choice of using the first keyword atom in the tactic's syntax
specification, but this may need to be overridable someday.
* Tactics are extensible, but we don't want to allow arbitrary imports
to clobber existing tactic docstrings, which could become unpredictable
in practice.
For tactic identity, this PR introduces the notion of a *tactic
alternative*, which is a `syntax` specification that is really "the same
as" an existing tactic, but needs to be separate for technical reasons.
This provides a notion of tactic identity, which we can use as the basis
of a tactic index in generated documentation. Alternative forms of
tactics are specified using a new `@[tactic_alt IDENT]` attribute,
applied to the new tactic syntax. It is an error to declare a tactic
syntax rule to be an alternative of another one that is itself an
alternative. Documentation hovers now take alternatives into account,
and display the docs for the canonical name.
*Tactic tags*, created with the `register_tactic_tag` command, specify
tags that may be applied to tactics. This is intended to be used by
doc-gen and Verso. Tags may be applied using the `@[tactic_tag TAG1 TAG2
...]` attribute on a canonical tactic parser, which may be used in any
module to facilitate downstream projects introducing tags that apply to
pre-existing tactics. Tags may not be removed, but it's fine to
redundantly add them. The collection of tags, and the tactics to which
they're applied, can be seen using the `#print tactic tags` command.
*Extension documentation* provides a structured way to document
extensions to tactics. The resulting documentation is gathered into a
bulleted list at the bottom of the tactic's docstring. Extensions are
added using the `tactic_extension TAC` command. This can be used when
adding new interpretations of a tactic via `macro_rules`, when extending
some table or search index used by the tactic, or in any other way. It
is a command to facilitate its flexible use with various extension
mechanisms.
This is not a complete upstreaming of that file (it also supports `∀ᵉ (x
< 2) (y < 3), p x y` as shorthand for `∀ x < 2, ∀ y < 3, p x y`, but I
don't think we need this; it is used in Mathlib).
Syntaxes still need to be made built-in.
