This attribute, which was implemented in #3640, is applied to the
following structures: `Sigma`, `PSigma`, `PProd`, `And`, `Subtype`, and
`Fin`. These were given this attribute in Lean 3.
Before, the termination argument as inferred by `GuessLex` was passed
further
on as `Syntax`, to be elaborated later in `WF.Rel`.
This didn’t feel quite right anymore. In particular if we want to teach
`GuessLex` about guessing more complex termination arguments like
`xs.size -
i`, using `Expr` here is more natural.
So this introduces `TerminationArgument` based on an `Expr` to be used
here.
A side-effect of how the termination arguments are elaborated is that
the unused
variables linter will now look at `termination_by` variables, and that
parameters
past the colon are not even invisibly in scope, so `‹_›` will not find
them
See https://github.com/leanprover-community/mathlib4/pull/11370/files
for examples
of fixing these changes.
This change
* moves `termination_by` and `decreasing_by` next to the function they
apply to
* simplify the syntax of `termination_by`
* apply the `decreasing_by` goal to all goals at once, for better
interactive use.
See the section in `RELEASES.md` for more details and migration advise.
This is a hard breaking change, requiring developers to touch every
`termination_by` in their code base. We decided to still do it as a
hard-breaking change, because supporting both old and new syntax at the
same time would be non-trivial, and not save that much. Moreover, this
requires changes to some metaprograms that developers might have
written, and supporting both syntaxes at the same time would make
_their_ migration harder.
