Previously, the tactic state shown at `decreasing_by` would leak lots of
details about the translation, and mention `invImage`, `PSigma` etc.
This is not nice.
So this introduces `clean_wf`, which is like `simp_wf` but using
`simp`'s `only` mode, and runs this unconditionally. This should clean
up the goal to a reasonable extent.
Previously `simp_wf` was an unrestricted `simp […]` call, but we
probably don’t want arbitrary simplification to happen at this point, so
this now became `simp only` call. For backwards compatibility,
`decreasing_with` begins with `try simp`. The `simp_wf` tactic
is still available to not break too much existing code; it’s docstring
suggests to no longer use it.
With `set_option cleanDecreasingByGoal false` one can disable the use of
`clean_wf`. I hope this is only needed for debugging and understanding.
Migration advise: If your `decreasing_by` proof begins with `simp_wf`,
either remove that (if the proof still goes through), or replace with
`simp`.
I am a bit anxious about running even `simp only` unconditionally here,
as it may do more than some user might want, e.g. because of options
like `zetaDelta := true`. We'll see if we need to reign in this tactic
some more.
I wonder if in corner cases the `simp_wf` tactic might be able to close
the goal, and if that is a problem. If so, we may have to promote simp’s
internal `mayCloseGoal` parameter to a simp configuration option and use
that here.
fixes#4928
Sets the default value to `pp.fieldNotation.generalized` to `true`.
Updates tests, and fixes some minor flaws in the implementation of the
generalized field notation pretty printer.
Now generalized field notation won't be used for any function that has a
`motive` argument. This is intended to prevent recursors from pretty
printing using it as (1) recursors are more like control flow structures
than actual functions and (2) generalized field notation tends to cause
elaboration problems for recursors.
Note: be sure functions that have an `@[app_unexpander]` use
`@[pp_nodot]` if applicable. For example, `List.toArray` needs
`@[pp_nodot]` to ensure the unexpander prints it using `#[...]`
notation.
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.
until around 7fe6881 the way to define well-founded recursions was to
specify a `WellFoundedRelation` on the argument explicitly. This was
rather low-level, for example one had to predict the packing of multiple
arguments into `PProd`s, the packing of mutual functions into `PSum`s,
and the cliques that were calculated.
Then the current `termination_by` syntax was introduced, where you
specify the termination argument at a higher level (one clause per
functions, unpacked arguments), and the `WellFoundedRelation` is found
using type class resolution.
The old syntax was kept around as `termination_by'`. This is not used
anywhere in the lean, std, mathlib or the theorem-proving-in-lean
repositories,
and three occurrences I found in the wild can do without
In particular, it should be possible to express anything that the old
syntax
supported also with the new one, possibly requiring a helper type with a
suitable instance, or the following generic wrapper that now lives in
std
```
def wrap {α : Sort u} {r : α → α → Prop} (h : WellFounded r) (x : α) : {x : α // Acc r x}
```
Since the old syntax is unused, has an unhelpful name and relies on
internals, this removes the support. Now is a good time before the
refactoring that's planned in #2921.
The test suite was updated without particular surprises.
The parametric `terminationHint` parser is gone, which means we can
match on syntax more easily now, in `expandDecreasingBy?`.
