Lean 4 fork for HoTT-compatible kernel extensions (Path types, transport, HITs). Maintained against upstream leanprover/lean4.
This PR fixes how we determine whether a function parameter is an
instance.
Previously, we relied on binder annotations (e.g., `[Ring A]` vs `{_ :
Ring A}`)
to make this determination. This is unreliable because users
legitimately use
`{..}` binders for class types when the instance is already available
from
context. For example:
```lean
structure OrdSet (α : Type) [Hashable α] [BEq α] where
...
def OrdSet.insert {_ : Hashable α} {_ : BEq α} (s : OrdSet α) (a : α) : OrdSet α :=
...
```
Here, `Hashable` and `BEq` are classes, but the `{..}` binder is
intentional, the
instances come from `OrdSet`'s parameters, so type class resolution is
unnecessary.
The fix checks the parameter's *type* using `isClass?` rather than its
syntax, and
caches this information in `FunInfo`. This affects several subsystems:
- **Discrimination trees**: instance parameters should not be indexed
even if marked with `{..}`
- **Congruence lemma generation**: instances require special treatment
- **`grind` canonicalizer**: must ensure canonical instances
**Potential regressions**: automation may now behave differently in
cases where it
previously misidentified instance parameters. For example, a rewrite
rule in `simp` that was
not firing due to incorrect indexing may now fire.
