abbrev hidden {α : Sort u_1} {a : α} :
α

An identity function with its main argument implicit. This will be printed as hidden even if it is applied to a large term, so it can be used for elision, as done in the elide and unelide tactics.

    class Fact (p : Prop) :

    Wrapper for adding elementary propositions to the type class systems. Warning: this can easily be abused. See the rest of this docstring for details.

    Certain propositions should not be treated as a class globally, but sometimes it is very convenient to be able to use the type class system in specific circumstances.

    For example, ZMod p is a field if and only if p is a prime number. In order to be able to find this field instance automatically by type class search, we have to turn p.prime into an instance implicit assumption.

    On the other hand, making Nat.prime a class would require a major refactoring of the library, and it is questionable whether making Nat.prime a class is desirable at all. The compromise is to add the assumption [Fact p.prime] to ZMod.field.

    In particular, this class is not intended for turning the type class system into an automated theorem prover for first order logic.

    • out : p

          Alias of propext.


          The axiom of propositional extensionality. It asserts that if propositions a and b are logically equivalent (i.e. we can prove a from b and vice versa), then a and b are equal, meaning that we can replace a with b in all contexts.

          For simple expressions like a ∧ c ∨ d → e we can prove that because all the logical connectives respect logical equivalence, we can replace a with b in this expression without using propext. However, for higher order expressions like P a where P : Prop → Prop is unknown, or indeed for a = b itself, we cannot replace a with b without an axiom which says exactly this.

          This is a relatively uncontroversial axiom, which is intuitionistically valid. It does however block computation when using #reduce to reduce proofs directly (which is not recommended), meaning that canonicity, the property that all closed terms of type Nat normalize to numerals, fails to hold when this (or any) axiom is used:

          set_option pp.proofs true
          
          def foo : Nat := by
            have : (True → True) ↔ True := ⟨λ _ => trivial, λ _ _ => trivial⟩
            have := propext this ▸ (2 : Nat)
            exact this
          
          #reduce foo
          -- propext { mp := fun x x => True.intro, mpr := fun x => True.intro } ▸ 2
          
          #eval foo -- 2
          

          #eval can evaluate it to a numeral because the compiler erases casts and does not evaluate proofs, so propext, whose return type is a proposition, can never block it.
