View on Github →feat: add fast_instance% elaborator (#11521)
Quoting the docstring:
fast_instance% inst takes an expression for a typeclass instance inst, and unfolds it into
constructor applications that leverage existing instances.
For instance, when used as
instance instSemiring : Semiring X := sorry
instance instRing : Ring X := fast_instance% Function.Injective.ring ..
this will define instRing as a nested constructor application that refers to instSemiring.
The advantage is then that instRing.toSemiring unifies almost immediately with instSemiring,
rather than having to break it down into smaller pieces.
