This PR refactors the juggling of universes in the linear
`noConfusionType` construction: Instead of using `PUnit.{…} → ` in the
to get the branches of `withCtorType` to the same universe level, we use
`PULift`.
This fixes https://github.com/leanprover/lean4/issues/8962, although
probably doesn’t solve all issues of that kind while level equality
checking is incomplete.
Although `HEq` was abbreviated as `≍` in #8503, many instances of the
form `HEq x y` still remain.
Therefore, I searched for occurrences of `HEq x y` using the regular
expression `(?<![A-Za-z/@]|``)HEq(?![A-Za-z.])` and replaced as many as
possible with the form `x ≍ y`.
This PR introduces a `noConfusionType` construction that’s sub-quadratic
in size, and reduces faster.
The previous `noConfusion` construction with two nested `match`
statements is quadratic in size and reduction behavior. Using some
helper definitions, a linear size construction is possible.
With this, processing the RISC-V-AST definition from
https://github.com/opencompl/sail-riscv-lean takes 6s instead of 60s.
The previous construction is still used when processing the early
prelude, and can be enabled elsewhere using `set_option
backwards.linearNoConfusionType false`.
