This PR fixes the caching infrastructure for `whnf` and `isDefEq`,
ensuring the cache accounts for all relevant configuration flags. It
also cleans up the `WHNF.lean` module and improves the configuration of
`whnf`.
This commit also removes parameter `simpleReduce` from discrimination
trees, and take WHNF configuration options.
Reason: it is more dynamic now. For example, the simplifier
will be able to use different configurations for discrimination tree insertion
and retrieval. We need this feature to address issues #2669 and #2281
This commit also removes the dead Meta.Config field `zetaNonDep`.
The new class specifies an interface for saving and restoring the
backtrackable part of the state.
This commit also fixes a few issues.
- `commitWhen` at `LevelDefEq` was defining a checkpoint for
the `isDefEq` methods, and it affects how postponed universe
constraints are handled. However, the name suggests it is
similar to `commitWhenSome?`, and consequently it was used
in other places that had nothing to do with `isDefEq`.
So, I renamed it, and provided the generic `commitWhen` at the new
`MonadBacktrack.lean` file.
- We were restoring more state then needed in a few places.
For example, we were discarding all caches.
- At `SyntheticMVars.lean`, we were using the `Meta.commitWhenSome?`
method which does not restore the `Term.State`.
@Kha I marked the corresponding methods as `protected`.
I currently can't stand `throw_error`, and I am optimistic about
server highlighting feature you are working on :)
1) `ScopedEnvExtension` module now mananges the push/pop/activate
methods. Motivations:
- Easier to add attributes
- One `ScopedEnvExtension` may be shared between multiple
attributes (e.g., parsers)
2) Add `AttributeKind`
