Subject: [PATCH 002/440] Patch by Hugo Herbelin.

 Added an option -relevant-equality to Coq which makes the
 logic compatible with a model such as the univalent model
 where proofs of equality are informative as soon as they
 involve elements in some Type level. This has an effect on
 the level in which universe-polymorphic inductive types are
 placed, which can be higher than w/o the option, and on
 which singleton eliminations are allowed, which can be less
 than w/o the option.

How indices contribute:
- Indices in A:Prop do not contribute to the level of an inductive nor
  on whether singleton elimination is allowed or not.
- We chose to interpret Set as a sort in which proofs of equality are
  irrelevant (i.e. a sort in which Streicher's K holds). Hence indices
  in A:Set do not contribute to the level of the inductive. In
  particular, elimination from "Inductive eq (A:Set) (a:A) : A -> Prop
  := refl : eq A a a." is unrestricted. Similarly, the default lower
  level of polymorphic "Inductive eq (A:Set) (a:A) : A -> Type := refl
  : eq A a a." is Prop.
- Indices in A:Type contribute to raising the level of a
  universe-polymorphic type. E.g. "Inductive eq (A:Type (* u *) ) (a:A) :
  A -> Type := refl : eq A a a." is in "Type (* u *)". Similarly,
  singleton elimination is forbidden from "Inductive eq (A:Type) (a:A)
  : A -> Prop := refl : eq A a a.".

Remarks:
- The modification applies uniformly to all inductive types with
  indices, not only those resembling equality.
- The standard library stops to compile when the option is activated.
- We could have been finer, and only restrict singleton eliminations
  dynamically depending on the level of the effective sort
  used. E.g. with "Inductive eq (A:Type) (a:A) : A -> Prop := refl :
  eq A a a.", we could have allowed "eq nat" to be eliminable to every
  sorts (because nat can be finally be put in Set and not in some
  higher Type). With this, a larger amount of the standard library
  could be compiled by reasoning in Set rather than in Type.
  However, this is not implemented.

Subject: [PATCH 003/440] Changed the behavior of -relevant-equality so that
 Set is not considered small, in the sense that a type in Set does not get
 equality in Prop. This is the desired behavior for the homotopy
 interpretation where Set cannot be interpreted, say, as the intersection of
 hset and the lowest universe.

It would still be good to make absence of -relevant-equality
contaminant so that we cannot accidentally use the standard
library when the option is present.

And yes, there is no hope of compiling the standard library
with this option turned on.

From 7af0499d6ca98333527563630a13850b72f35002 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Matthieu Sozeau <mattam@mattam.org>
Date: Wed, 10 Oct 2012 23:41:22 -0400
Subject: [PATCH 007/440] First part of the big changes to the kernel: - Const,
 Ind, Construct now come with a universe level instance - It is used for type
 inference in the kernel, which now also takes a graph as input: actually a
 set of local universe variables and their constraints. Type inference just
 checks that the constraints are enough to satisfy its own rules. - Remove
 polymorphic_arity and _knowing_parameters everywhere: we don't need full
 applications for polymorphism to apply anymore, as we generate fresh
 variables at each constant/inductive/constructor application. However
 knowing_parameters variants might be reinstated later for optimization. - New
 structures exported in univ.mli:   - universe_list for universe level
 instances   - universe_context(_set) for the local universe constraints, also
 recording which variables will be local and hence generalized after inference
 if defining a polymorphic ind/constant. - this patch makes coq stop compiling
 at indtypes.ml

Subject: [PATCH 008/440] Adapt kernel, library, pretyping, tactics and
 toplevel to universe polymorphism. Various degrees of integration, places
 where I was not sure what to do or just postponed bigger reorganizations of
 the code are marked with FIXMEs. Main changes: - Kernel now checks
 constraints and does not infer them anymore. - The inference functions
 produce a context of constraints that were checked during inference, useful
 to do double-checking of the univ. poly. code but might be removed later. -
 Constant, Inductive entries now have a universe context (local variables and
 constraints) associated to them. - Printing, debugging functions for the new
 structures are also implemented. - Now stopping at Logic.v - Lots of new code
 in kernel/univ.ml that should be reviewed. - kernel/indtypes probably does
 not do what's right when inferring inductive type constraints. - Adapted evd
 to use the new universe context structure. - Did not deal with
 unification/evar_conv.

From 8f18cc97031cdd25462268f607249868bff334cf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Matthieu Sozeau <mattam@mattam.org>
Date: Tue, 16 Oct 2012 23:58:52 -0400
Subject: [PATCH 009/440] - Add externalisation code for universe level
 instances. - Support for polymorphism in pretyping/command and
 proofs/proofview etc.   Needed wrapping of [fresh_.._instance] through the
 evar_map, which   contains the local state of universes during type-checking.
 - Correct the inductive scheme generation to support polymorphism as well. -
 Have to review kernel code for correctness, and especially rework the  
 computation of universe constraints for inductives. Stops somewhat later in
 Logic.v

From e859de1ce5a9f23a53fcb64ef0193d4d5c5ca9e6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Matthieu Sozeau <mattam@mattam.org>
Date: Thu, 18 Oct 2012 21:35:33 -0400
Subject: [PATCH 010/440] - Fix naming of local/toplevel universes to be
 correctly done at typechecking time:   local variables have no dirpath. - Add
 code to do substitution of universes in modules, not finished yet. - Move
 fresh_* functions out of kernel, it won't ever build a universe level again!
 - Adapt a lot of new_Type to use the correct dirpath and declare the new
 types in the evar_map so we keep track of them. - A bit of code factorization
 (evd_comb moved, pretype_global).

From 1746d86e2178bddaf9c79a2f761fc63d7871a7b3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Matthieu Sozeau <mattam@mattam.org>
Date: Fri, 19 Oct 2012 03:34:16 -0400
Subject: [PATCH 011/440] - Refactor more code - Adapt plugins code (sometimes
 wrong, marked with FIXME) - Fix cases generating unneeded universe (not sure
 it's ok though) - Fix scheme generation for good, might have opportunity to
 cleanup the terms later.

From 9828b5591bc671661bb774e335e6113a9112c1b1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Matthieu Sozeau <mattam@mattam.org>
Date: Tue, 23 Oct 2012 00:03:44 -0400
Subject: [PATCH 012/440] Init compiles now (which means rewrite, inversion,
 elim etc.. work as well). - Unsolved issue of pretyping to lower sorts
 properly (to Prop for example).   This has to do with the
 (Retyping.get_type_of) giving algebraic universes that   would appear on the
 right of constraints.   This makes checking for dangling universes at the end
 of pretyping fail,   hence the check in kernel/univ was removed. It should
 come back when we have   a fix for this. - Correctly (?) compute the levels
 of inductive types.   Removed old code pertaining to universe polymorphism.
 Note that we generate   constraint variables for the conclusion of inductive
 types invariably. - Shrink constraints before going to the kernel, combine
 substitution of the   smaller universe set with normalization of evars (maybe
 not done everywhere,   only ordinary inductives, definitions and proofs) -
 More API reworks overall. tclPUSHCONTEXT can be used to add fresh universes  
 to the proof goal (used in a few places to get the right instance. - Quick
 fix for auto that won't work in the long run. It should always have been  
 restricted to take constant references as input, without any loss of
 generality   over constrs.

Subject: [PATCH 014/440] Cleanup and move code from kernel to library and from
 pretyping to library too. Now there is a unique universe counter declared in
 library/universes.ml along with all the functions to generate new universes
 and get fresh constant/inductive terms. - Various function renamings - One
 important change in kernel/univ.ml: now [sup] can be applied to Prop. - Adapt

Subject: [PATCH 016/440] interp_constr returns the universe context

The context is then pushed through the environment (or proof goal
sigma).
- Fix insertion of constants/inductives in env, pushing constraints to
the global env for non-polymorphic ones.
- Add Prop as a universe level to do proper type inference with sorts.
It is allowed to take [sup] of [Prop] now.
- New nf_evar based on new Evd.map(_undefined)
- In proofs/logic.ml: conv_leq_goal might create some constraints that
are now recorded.
- Adapt Program code to universes.

From: Matthieu Sozeau <mattam@mattam.org>
Date: Fri, 26 Oct 2012 01:27:41 -0400
Subject: [PATCH 017/440] Merge with latest trunk + fixes

-Use new constr_of_global from universes
- fix eqschemes to use polymorphic universes
- begin fixing cctac but f_equal still fails
- fix [simpl] and rest of tacred
- all the eq_constr with mkConst foo should be fixed as well, only
partially done

Subject: [PATCH 018/440] - Fix term hashing function to recognize equal terms
 up to universe instances. - Fix congruence closure to equate terms that
 differ only in universe instances, these will be resolved by constraints.

Subject: [PATCH 019/440] Add a set of undefined universe variables to
 unification. Universe variables can now be declared rigid or flexible
 (unifiable). Flexible variables are resolved at the end of typechecking by
 instantiating them to their glb, adding upper bound constraints associated to
 them. Also: - Add polymorphic flag for inductives. - Fix cooking partially -
 Fix kernel/univ.ml to do normalization of universe expressions at the end of
 substitution.

Subject: [PATCH 020/440] Correct classes/structures universe inference

- Required a bit of extension in Univ to handle Max properly (sup u
(u+1)) was returning (max(u,u+1)) for example.
- Try a version where substitution of universe expressions for universe
levels is allowed at the end of unification. By an invariant this
should only instantiate with max() types that are morally "on the
right" only.
This is controlled using a rigidity attribute of universe variables,
also allowing to properly do unification w.r.t. universes during
typechecking/inference.
- Currently fails in Vectors/Fin.v because case compilation generates
"flexible" universes that actually appear in the term...

Subject: [PATCH 021/440] Fix unification of universe variables.

- Fix choice of canonical universe in presence of universe constraints,
and do so by relying on a trichotomy for universe variables: rigid
(won't be substituted), flexible (might be if not substituted by an
algebraic) and flexible_alg (always substituted).
- Fix romega code and a few more plugins, most of the standard library
goes through now.
- Had to define some inductives as Polymorphic explicitly to make
proofs go through, more to come, and definitions should be polymorphic
too, otherwise inconsistencies appear quickly (two uses of the same
polymorphic ind through monomorphic functions (like nth on lists of
Props and nats) will fix the monomorphic function's universe with eq
constraints that are incompatible).
- Correct universe polymorphism handling for fixpoint/cofixpoint
definitions.

From: Matthieu Sozeau <mattam@mattam.org>
Date: Fri, 16 Nov 2012 17:31:16 -0500
Subject: [PATCH 024/440] - Fix substitution saturation of universes. - Fix
 number syntax plugin. - Fix setoid_ring to take its coefficients in a Set
 rather than a Type, avoiding a large number of useless universe constraints.

Subject: [PATCH 025/440] - Fix minor checker decl - Fix btauto w.r.t. GRef -
 Fix proofview to normalize universes in the original types as well. - Fix
 definitions of projections to not take two universes at the same level, but
 at different levels instead, avoiding unnecessary constraints that could
 lower the level of one component depending on the use of the other component.

 polymorphic to help with following definitions. - When starting a lemma,
 normalize w.r.t. universes, so that the types get a fixed universe, not

From 7ae9686165cf285f7f4c9e63e27fb117941067eb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Matthieu Sozeau <mattam@mattam.org>
Date: Wed, 10 Oct 2012 23:41:22 -0400
Subject: [PATCH 036/440] First part of the big changes to the kernel: - Const,
 Ind, Construct now come with a universe level instance - It is used for type
 inference in the kernel, which now also takes a graph as input: actually a
 set of local universe variables and their constraints. Type inference just
 checks that the constraints are enough to satisfy its own rules. - Remove
 polymorphic_arity and _knowing_parameters everywhere: we don't need full
 applications for polymorphism to apply anymore, as we generate fresh
 variables at each constant/inductive/constructor application. However
 knowing_parameters variants might be reinstated later for optimization. - New
 structures exported in univ.mli:   - universe_list for universe level
 instances   - universe_context(_set) for the local universe constraints, also
 recording which variables will be local and hence generalized after inference
 if defining a polymorphic ind/constant. - this patch makes coq stop compiling
 at indtypes.ml

Subject: [PATCH 037/440] Adapt kernel, library, pretyping, tactics and
 toplevel to universe polymorphism. Various degrees of integration, places
 where I was not sure what to do or just postponed bigger reorganizations of
 the code are marked with FIXMEs. Main changes: - Kernel now checks
 constraints and does not infer them anymore. - The inference functions
 produce a context of constraints that were checked during inference, useful
 to do double-checking of the univ. poly. code but might be removed later. -
 Constant, Inductive entries now have a universe context (local variables and
 constraints) associated to them. - Printing, debugging functions for the new
 structures are also implemented. - Now stopping at Logic.v - Lots of new code
 in kernel/univ.ml that should be reviewed. - kernel/indtypes probably does
 not do what's right when inferring inductive type constraints. - Adapted evd
 to use the new universe context structure. - Did not deal with
 unification/evar_conv.

From f9169edad8eadfba0cb864640303ea4dbaa2a833 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Matthieu Sozeau <mattam@mattam.org>
Date: Tue, 16 Oct 2012 23:58:52 -0400
Subject: [PATCH 038/440] - Add externalisation code for universe level
 instances. - Support for polymorphism in pretyping/command and
 proofs/proofview etc.   Needed wrapping of [fresh_.._instance] through the
 evar_map, which   contains the local state of universes during type-checking.
 - Correct the inductive scheme generation to support polymorphism as well. -
 Have to review kernel code for correctness, and especially rework the  
 computation of universe constraints for inductives. Stops somewhat later in
 Logic.v

From 81bb677d25acbd5b0594095f0f9aa396b38f20d8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Matthieu Sozeau <mattam@mattam.org>
Date: Thu, 18 Oct 2012 21:35:33 -0400
Subject: [PATCH 039/440] - Fix naming of local/toplevel universes to be
 correctly done at typechecking time:   local variables have no dirpath. - Add
 code to do substitution of universes in modules, not finished yet. - Move
 fresh_* functions out of kernel, it won't ever build a universe level again!
 - Adapt a lot of new_Type to use the correct dirpath and declare the new
 types in the evar_map so we keep track of them. - A bit of code factorization
 (evd_comb moved, pretype_global).

From a284515b22e5689f387cae2bf4331d219bb1ee4f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Matthieu Sozeau <mattam@mattam.org>
Date: Fri, 19 Oct 2012 03:34:16 -0400
Subject: [PATCH 040/440] - Refactor more code - Adapt plugins code (sometimes
 wrong, marked with FIXME) - Fix cases generating unneeded universe (not sure
 it's ok though) - Fix scheme generation for good, might have opportunity to
 cleanup the terms later.

From 0a0b0a14ec6eb84c8404f3fb0c2212005062d5ab Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Matthieu Sozeau <mattam@mattam.org>
Date: Tue, 23 Oct 2012 00:03:44 -0400
Subject: [PATCH 041/440] Init compiles now (which means rewrite, inversion,
 elim etc.. work as well). - Unsolved issue of pretyping to lower sorts
 properly (to Prop for example).   This has to do with the
 (Retyping.get_type_of) giving algebraic universes that   would appear on the
 right of constraints.   This makes checking for dangling universes at the end
 of pretyping fail,   hence the check in kernel/univ was removed. It should
 come back when we have   a fix for this. - Correctly (?) compute the levels
 of inductive types.   Removed old code pertaining to universe polymorphism.
 Note that we generate   constraint variables for the conclusion of inductive
 types invariably. - Shrink constraints before going to the kernel, combine
 substitution of the   smaller universe set with normalization of evars (maybe
 not done everywhere,   only ordinary inductives, definitions and proofs) -
 More API reworks overall. tclPUSHCONTEXT can be used to add fresh universes  
 to the proof goal (used in a few places to get the right instance. - Quick
 fix for auto that won't work in the long run. It should always have been  
 restricted to take constant references as input, without any loss of
 generality   over constrs.

Subject: [PATCH 043/440] Cleanup and move code from kernel to library and from
 pretyping to library too. Now there is a unique universe counter declared in
 library/universes.ml along with all the functions to generate new universes
 and get fresh constant/inductive terms. - Various function renamings - One
 important change in kernel/univ.ml: now [sup] can be applied to Prop. - Adapt
 records/classes to universe polymorphism - Now stops in EqDepFacts due to
 imprecise universe polymorphism.

Subject: [PATCH 045/440] interp_constr returns the universe context

The context is then pushed through the environment (or proof goal
sigma).
- Fix insertion of constants/inductives in env, pushing constraints to
the global env for non-polymorphic ones.
- Add Prop as a universe level to do proper type inference with sorts.
It is allowed to take [sup] of [Prop] now.
- New nf_evar based on new Evd.map(_undefined)
- In proofs/logic.ml: conv_leq_goal might create some constraints that
are now recorded.
- Adapt Program code to universes.

From: Matthieu Sozeau <mattam@mattam.org>
Date: Fri, 26 Oct 2012 01:27:41 -0400
Subject: [PATCH 046/440] Merge with latest trunk + fixes

-Use new constr_of_global from universes
- fix eqschemes to use polymorphic universes
- begin fixing cctac but f_equal still fails
- fix [simpl] and rest of tacred
- all the eq_constr with mkConst foo should be fixed as well, only
partially done

Subject: [PATCH 048/440] Add a set of undefined universe variables to
 unification. Universe variables can now be declared rigid or flexible
 (unifiable). Flexible variables are resolved at the end of typechecking by
 instantiating them to their glb, adding upper bound constraints associated to
 them. Also: - Add polymorphic flag for inductives. - Fix cooking partially -
 Fix kernel/univ.ml to do normalization of universe expressions at the end of
 substitution.

Subject: [PATCH 049/440] Correct classes/structures universe inference

- Required a bit of extension in Univ to handle Max properly (sup u
(u+1)) was returning (max(u,u+1)) for example.
- Try a version where substitution of universe expressions for universe
levels is allowed at the end of unification. By an invariant this
should only instantiate with max() types that are morally "on the
right" only.
This is controlled using a rigidity attribute of universe variables,
also allowing to properly do unification w.r.t. universes during
typechecking/inference.
- Currently fails in Vectors/Fin.v because case compilation generates
"flexible" universes that actually appear in the term...

Subject: [PATCH 050/440] Fix unification of universe variables.

- Fix choice of canonical universe in presence of universe constraints,
and do so by relying on a trichotomy for universe variables: rigid
(won't be substituted), flexible (might be if not substituted by an
algebraic) and flexible_alg (always substituted).
- Fix romega code and a few more plugins, most of the standard library
goes through now.
- Had to define some inductives as Polymorphic explicitly to make
proofs go through, more to come, and definitions should be polymorphic
too, otherwise inconsistencies appear quickly (two uses of the same
polymorphic ind through monomorphic functions (like nth on lists of
Props and nats) will fix the monomorphic function's universe with eq
constraints that are incompatible).
- Correct universe polymorphism handling for fixpoint/cofixpoint
definitions.

From: Matthieu Sozeau <mattam@mattam.org>
Date: Fri, 16 Nov 2012 17:31:16 -0500
Subject: [PATCH 052/440] - Fix substitution saturation of universes. - Fix
 number syntax plugin. - Fix setoid_ring to take its coefficients in a Set
 rather than a Type, avoiding a large number of useless universe constraints.

Subject: [PATCH 053/440] - Fix minor checker decl - Fix btauto w.r.t. GRef -
 Fix proofview to normalize universes in the original types as well. - Fix
 definitions of projections to not take two universes at the same level, but
 at different levels instead, avoiding unnecessary constraints that could
 lower the level of one component depending on the use of the other component.

From b77c8f63abc4f7602d2a4c7e981b4eb5ac43ffb6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Matthieu Sozeau <mattam@mattam.org>
Date: Tue, 20 Nov 2012 19:00:10 -0500
Subject: [PATCH 057/440] Compile everything. - "Fix" checker by deactivating
 code related to polymorphism, should be updated. - Make most of List.v
 polymorphic to help with following definitions. - When starting a lemma,
 normalize w.r.t. universes, so that the types get a fixed universe, not
 refinable later. - In record, don't assign a fully flexible universe variable
 to the record type if it is a definitional typeclass, as translate_constant
 doesn't expect an algebraic universe in the type of a constant. It certainly
 should though. - Fix micromega code.

Subject: [PATCH 062/440] Keep universe contexts of inductives/constants in
 entries for correct substitution inside modules. Abstract interface to get an
 instantiation of an inductive with its universe substitution in the kernel
 (no substitution if the inductive is not polymorphic, even if mind_universes
 is non-empty).

Subject: [PATCH 064/440] - Fix bug in nf_constraints: was removing Set <=
 constraints, but should remove Prop <= constraints only. - Make proj1_sig,
 projT1... polymorphic to avoid weird universe unifications, giving rise to
 universe inconsistenties.

Subject: [PATCH 089/440] First part of the big changes to the kernel: - Const,
 Ind, Construct now come with a universe level instance - It is used for type
 inference in the kernel, which now also takes a graph as input: actually a
 set of local universe variables and their constraints. Type inference just
 checks that the constraints are enough to satisfy its own rules. - Remove
 polymorphic_arity and _knowing_parameters everywhere: we don't need full
 applications for polymorphism to apply anymore, as we generate fresh
 variables at each constant/inductive/constructor application. However
 knowing_parameters variants might be reinstated later for optimization. - New
 structures exported in univ.mli:   - universe_list for universe level
 instances   - universe_context(_set) for the local universe constraints, also
 recording which variables will be local and hence generalized after inference
 if defining a polymorphic ind/constant. - this patch makes coq stop compiling
 at indtypes.ml

Subject: [PATCH 090/440] Adapt kernel, library, pretyping, tactics and
 toplevel to universe polymorphism. Various degrees of integration, places
 where I was not sure what to do or just postponed bigger reorganizations of
 the code are marked with FIXMEs. Main changes: - Kernel now checks
 constraints and does not infer them anymore. - The inference functions
 produce a context of constraints that were checked during inference, useful
 to do double-checking of the univ. poly. code but might be removed later. -
 Constant, Inductive entries now have a universe context (local variables and
 constraints) associated to them. - Printing, debugging functions for the new
 structures are also implemented. - Now stopping at Logic.v - Lots of new code
 in kernel/univ.ml that should be reviewed. - kernel/indtypes probably does
 not do what's right when inferring inductive type constraints. - Adapted evd
 to use the new universe context structure. - Did not deal with
 unification/evar_conv.

From 75f7c251bfa2f845f3c176a726366832dd435ef2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Matthieu Sozeau <mattam@mattam.org>
Date: Tue, 16 Oct 2012 23:58:52 -0400
Subject: [PATCH 091/440] - Add externalisation code for universe level
 instances. - Support for polymorphism in pretyping/command and
 proofs/proofview etc.   Needed wrapping of [fresh_.._instance] through the
 evar_map, which   contains the local state of universes during type-checking.
 - Correct the inductive scheme generation to support polymorphism as well. -
 Have to review kernel code for correctness, and especially rework the  
 computation of universe constraints for inductives. Stops somewhat later in
 Logic.v

From f35c9ce949b530fc94226776017484bfb820ab33 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Matthieu Sozeau <mattam@mattam.org>
Date: Thu, 18 Oct 2012 21:35:33 -0400
Subject: [PATCH 092/440] - Fix naming of local/toplevel universes to be
 correctly done at typechecking time:   local variables have no dirpath. - Add
 code to do substitution of universes in modules, not finished yet. - Move
 fresh_* functions out of kernel, it won't ever build a universe level again!
 - Adapt a lot of new_Type to use the correct dirpath and declare the new
 types in the evar_map so we keep track of them. - A bit of code factorization
 (evd_comb moved, pretype_global).

From 7533dd8699429da54737e3d3469d6f60c636db68 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Matthieu Sozeau <mattam@mattam.org>
Date: Fri, 19 Oct 2012 03:34:16 -0400
Subject: [PATCH 093/440] - Refactor more code - Adapt plugins code (sometimes
 wrong, marked with FIXME) - Fix cases generating unneeded universe (not sure
 it's ok though) - Fix scheme generation for good, might have opportunity to
 cleanup the terms later.

From 4e0ee00ab211c98df396222d80bae3271da16070 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Matthieu Sozeau <mattam@mattam.org>
Date: Tue, 23 Oct 2012 00:03:44 -0400
Subject: [PATCH 094/440] Init compiles now (which means rewrite, inversion,
 elim etc.. work as well). - Unsolved issue of pretyping to lower sorts
 properly (to Prop for example).   This has to do with the
 (Retyping.get_type_of) giving algebraic universes that   would appear on the
 right of constraints.   This makes checking for dangling universes at the end
 of pretyping fail,   hence the check in kernel/univ was removed. It should
 come back when we have   a fix for this. - Correctly (?) compute the levels
 of inductive types.   Removed old code pertaining to universe polymorphism.
 Note that we generate   constraint variables for the conclusion of inductive
 types invariably. - Shrink constraints before going to the kernel, combine
 substitution of the   smaller universe set with normalization of evars (maybe
 not done everywhere,   only ordinary inductives, definitions and proofs) -
 More API reworks overall. tclPUSHCONTEXT can be used to add fresh universes  
 to the proof goal (used in a few places to get the right instance. - Quick
 fix for auto that won't work in the long run. It should always have been  
 restricted to take constant references as input, without any loss of
 generality   over constrs.

Subject: [PATCH 096/440] Cleanup and move code from kernel to library and from
 pretyping to library too. Now there is a unique universe counter declared in
 library/universes.ml along with all the functions to generate new universes
 and get fresh constant/inductive terms. - Various function renamings - One
 important change in kernel/univ.ml: now [sup] can be applied to Prop. - Adapt
 records/classes to universe polymorphism - Now stops in EqDepFacts due to
 imprecise universe polymorphism.

Subject: [PATCH 098/440] interp_constr returns the universe context

The context is then pushed through the environment (or proof goal
sigma).
- Fix insertion of constants/inductives in env, pushing constraints to
the global env for non-polymorphic ones.
- Add Prop as a universe level to do proper type inference with sorts.
It is allowed to take [sup] of [Prop] now.
- New nf_evar based on new Evd.map(_undefined)
- In proofs/logic.ml: conv_leq_goal might create some constraints that
are now recorded.
- Adapt Program code to universes.

From: Matthieu Sozeau <mattam@mattam.org>
Date: Fri, 26 Oct 2012 01:27:41 -0400
Subject: [PATCH 099/440] Merge with latest trunk + fixes

-Use new constr_of_global from universes
- fix eqschemes to use polymorphic universes
- begin fixing cctac but f_equal still fails
- fix [simpl] and rest of tacred
- all the eq_constr with mkConst foo should be fixed as well, only
partially done

Subject: [PATCH 101/440] Add a set of undefined universe variables to
 unification. Universe variables can now be declared rigid or flexible
 (unifiable). Flexible variables are resolved at the end of typechecking by
 instantiating them to their glb, adding upper bound constraints associated to
 them. Also: - Add polymorphic flag for inductives. - Fix cooking partially -
 Fix kernel/univ.ml to do normalization of universe expressions at the end of
 substitution.

Subject: [PATCH 102/440] Correct classes/structures universe inference

- Required a bit of extension in Univ to handle Max properly (sup u
(u+1)) was returning (max(u,u+1)) for example.
- Try a version where substitution of universe expressions for universe
levels is allowed at the end of unification. By an invariant this
should only instantiate with max() types that are morally "on the
right" only.
This is controlled using a rigidity attribute of universe variables,
also allowing to properly do unification w.r.t. universes during
typechecking/inference.
- Currently fails in Vectors/Fin.v because case compilation generates
"flexible" universes that actually appear in the term...

and do so by relying on a trichotomy for universe variables: rigid
(won't be substituted), flexible (might be if not substituted by an
algebraic) and flexible_alg (always substituted).
- Fix romega code and a few more plugins, most of the standard library
goes through now.
- Had to define some inductives as Polymorphic explicitly to make
proofs go through, more to come, and definitions should be polymorphic
too, otherwise inconsistencies appear quickly (two uses of the same
polymorphic ind through monomorphic functions (like nth on lists of
Props and nats) will fix the monomorphic function's universe with eq
constraints that are incompatible).
- Correct universe polymorphism handling for fixpoint/cofixpoint
definitions.

Subject: [PATCH 106/440] - Fix minor checker decl - Fix btauto w.r.t. GRef -
 Fix proofview to normalize universes in the original types as well. - Fix
 definitions of projections to not take two universes at the same level, but
 at different levels instead, avoiding unnecessary constraints that could
 lower the level of one component depending on the use of the other component.

Subject: [PATCH 110/440] Compile everything. - "Fix" checker by deactivating
 code related to polymorphism, should be updated. - Make most of List.v
 polymorphic to help with following definitions. - When starting a lemma,
 normalize w.r.t. universes, so that the types get a fixed universe, not
 refinable later. - In record, don't assign a fully flexible universe variable
 to the record type if it is a definitional typeclass, as translate_constant
 doesn't expect an algebraic universe in the type of a constant. It certainly
 should though. - Fix micromega code.

Subject: [PATCH 115/440] Keep universe contexts of inductives/constants in
 entries for correct substitution inside modules. Abstract interface to get an
 instantiation of an inductive with its universe substitution in the kernel
 (no substitution if the inductive is not polymorphic, even if mind_universes
 is non-empty).

From adeefa8691d55cdcdea1db980a522201985cae48 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

Subject: [PATCH 139/440] Make kernel reduction and term comparison strictly
 aware of universe instances, with variants for relaxed comparison that output
 constraints. Otherwise some constraints that should appear during pretyping
 don't and we generate unnecessary constraints/universe variables. Have to
 adapt a few tactics to this new behavior by making them universe aware.

Subject: [PATCH 140/440] - Fix elimschemes to minimize universe variables -
 Fix coercions to not forget the universe constraints generated by an
 application - Change universe substitutions to maps instead of assoc lists. -
 Fix absurd tactic to handle univs properly - Make length and app polymorphic
 in List, unification sets their levels otherwise.

From f3be0d7c829831fcc00e994e00a6c7577c4ccf92 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Matthieu Sozeau <mattam@mattam.org>
Date: Sun, 9 Dec 2012 03:18:38 -0500
Subject: [PATCH 143/440] Change evar_map structure to support an incremental
 substitution of universes (populated from Eq constraints), allowing safe and
 fast inference of precise levels, without computing lubs. - Add many printers
 and reorganize code - Extend nf_evar to normalize universe variables
 according to the substitution. - Fix ChoiceFacts.v in Logic, no universe
 inconsistencies anymore. But Diaconescu still has one (something fixes a
 universe to Set). - Adapt omega, functional induction to the changes.

Subject: [PATCH 156/440] Rework all the code for infering the levels of
 inductives and checking their allowed eliminations sorts.

This is based on the computation of a natural level for an inductive type I.
The natural level [nat] of [I : args -> sort := c1 : A1 -> I t1 .. cn : An -> I tn] is
computed by taking the max of the levels of the args (if indices matter) and the
levels of the constructor arguments.
The declared level [decl] of I is [sort], which might be Prop, Set or some Type u (u fresh
or not).
If [decl >= nat && not (decl = Prop && n >= 2)], the level of the inductive is [decl],
otherwise, _smashing_ occured.
If [decl] is impredicative (Prop or Set when Set is impredicative), we accept the
declared level, otherwise it's an error.

To compute the allowed elimination sorts, we have the following situations:
- No smashing occured: all sorts are allowed. (Recall props that are not
smashed are Empty/Unitary props)
- Some smashing occured:
 - if [decl] is Type, we allow all eliminations (above or below [decl],
   not sure why this is justified in general).
 - if [decl] is Set, we used smashing for impredicativity, so only
   small sorts are allowed (Prop, Set).
 - if [decl] is Prop, only logical sorts are allowed: I has either
   large universes inside it or more than 1 constructor.
   This does not treat the case where only a Set appeared in I which
   was previously accepted it seems.

All the standard library works with these changes. Still have to cleanup
kernel/indtypes.ml. It is a good time to have a whiskey with OJ.

Subject: [PATCH 158/440] First part of the big changes to the kernel: - Const,
 Ind, Construct now come with a universe level instance - It is used for type
 inference in the kernel, which now also takes a graph as input: actually a
 set of local universe variables and their constraints. Type inference just
 checks that the constraints are enough to satisfy its own rules. - Remove
 polymorphic_arity and _knowing_parameters everywhere: we don't need full
 applications for polymorphism to apply anymore, as we generate fresh
 variables at each constant/inductive/constructor application. However
 knowing_parameters variants might be reinstated later for optimization. - New
 structures exported in univ.mli:   - universe_list for universe level
 instances   - universe_context(_set) for the local universe constraints, also
 recording which variables will be local and hence generalized after inference
 if defining a polymorphic ind/constant. - this patch makes coq stop compiling
 at indtypes.ml

Date: Tue, 16 Oct 2012 16:05:29 -0400
Subject: [PATCH 159/440] Adapt kernel, library, pretyping, tactics and
 toplevel to universe polymorphism. Various degrees of integration, places
 where I was not sure what to do or just postponed bigger reorganizations of
 the code are marked with FIXMEs. Main changes: - Kernel now checks
 constraints and does not infer them anymore. - The inference functions
 produce a context of constraints that were checked during inference, useful
 to do double-checking of the univ. poly. code but might be removed later. -
 Constant, Inductive entries now have a universe context (local variables and
 constraints) associated to them. - Printing, debugging functions for the new
 structures are also implemented. - Now stopping at Logic.v - Lots of new code
 in kernel/univ.ml that should be reviewed. - kernel/indtypes probably does
 not do what's right when inferring inductive type constraints. - Adapted evd
 to use the new universe context structure. - Did not deal with
 unification/evar_conv.

From f9e0358e3206efe39578c9a0cdd2bfd682d5fb2e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Matthieu Sozeau <mattam@mattam.org>
Date: Tue, 16 Oct 2012 23:58:52 -0400
Subject: [PATCH 160/440] - Add externalisation code for universe level
 instances. - Support for polymorphism in pretyping/command and
 proofs/proofview etc.   Needed wrapping of [fresh_.._instance] through the
 evar_map, which   contains the local state of universes during type-checking.
 - Correct the inductive scheme generation to support polymorphism as well. -
 Have to review kernel code for correctness, and especially rework the  
 computation of universe constraints for inductives. Stops somewhat later in
 Logic.v

From 92132d9a9885b31fd6b3d3f0c0760decb08e79be Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Matthieu Sozeau <mattam@mattam.org>
Date: Thu, 18 Oct 2012 21:35:33 -0400
Subject: [PATCH 161/440] - Fix naming of local/toplevel universes to be
 correctly done at typechecking time:   local variables have no dirpath. - Add
 code to do substitution of universes in modules, not finished yet. - Move
 fresh_* functions out of kernel, it won't ever build a universe level again!
 - Adapt a lot of new_Type to use the correct dirpath and declare the new
 types in the evar_map so we keep track of them. - A bit of code factorization
 (evd_comb moved, pretype_global).

From b58df19204ececd1043af039e1cce3e4070ba247 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Matthieu Sozeau <mattam@mattam.org>
Date: Fri, 19 Oct 2012 03:34:16 -0400
Subject: [PATCH 162/440] - Refactor more code - Adapt plugins code (sometimes
 wrong, marked with FIXME) - Fix cases generating unneeded universe (not sure
 it's ok though) - Fix scheme generation for good, might have opportunity to
 cleanup the terms later.

From 68bcde72ce86e6d7e14123bd2c8f24be3c3a5ca4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Matthieu Sozeau <mattam@mattam.org>
Date: Tue, 23 Oct 2012 00:03:44 -0400
Subject: [PATCH 163/440] Init compiles now (which means rewrite, inversion,
 elim etc.. work as well). - Unsolved issue of pretyping to lower sorts
 properly (to Prop for example).   This has to do with the
 (Retyping.get_type_of) giving algebraic universes that   would appear on the
 right of constraints.   This makes checking for dangling universes at the end
 of pretyping fail,   hence the check in kernel/univ was removed. It should
 come back when we have   a fix for this. - Correctly (?) compute the levels
 of inductive types.   Removed old code pertaining to universe polymorphism.
 Note that we generate   constraint variables for the conclusion of inductive
 types invariably. - Shrink constraints before going to the kernel, combine
 substitution of the   smaller universe set with normalization of evars (maybe
 not done everywhere,   only ordinary inductives, definitions and proofs) -
 More API reworks overall. tclPUSHCONTEXT can be used to add fresh universes  
 to the proof goal (used in a few places to get the right instance. - Quick
 fix for auto that won't work in the long run. It should always have been  
 restricted to take constant references as input, without any loss of
 generality   over constrs.

Subject: [PATCH 165/440] Cleanup and move code from kernel to library and from
 pretyping to library too. Now there is a unique universe counter declared in
 library/universes.ml along with all the functions to generate new universes
 and get fresh constant/inductive terms. - Various function renamings - One
 important change in kernel/univ.ml: now [sup] can be applied to Prop. - Adapt
 records/classes to universe polymorphism - Now stops in EqDepFacts due to
 imprecise universe polymorphism.

Subject: [PATCH 167/440] interp_constr returns the universe context

The context is then pushed through the environment (or proof goal
sigma).
- Fix insertion of constants/inductives in env, pushing constraints to
the global env for non-polymorphic ones.
- Add Prop as a universe level to do proper type inference with sorts.
It is allowed to take [sup] of [Prop] now.
- New nf_evar based on new Evd.map(_undefined)
- In proofs/logic.ml: conv_leq_goal might create some constraints that
are now recorded.
- Adapt Program code to universes.

From: Matthieu Sozeau <mattam@mattam.org>
Date: Fri, 26 Oct 2012 01:27:41 -0400
Subject: [PATCH 168/440] Merge with latest trunk + fixes

-Use new constr_of_global from universes
- fix eqschemes to use polymorphic universes
- begin fixing cctac but f_equal still fails
- fix [simpl] and rest of tacred
- all the eq_constr with mkConst foo should be fixed as well, only
partially done

From 96829d042dbb5a7c2f936f0f7ce6bf757b1f43b8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Matthieu Sozeau <mattam@mattam.org>
Date: Sun, 28 Oct 2012 00:48:51 -0400
Subject: [PATCH 170/440] Add a set of undefined universe variables to
 unification. Universe variables can now be declared rigid or flexible
 (unifiable). Flexible variables are resolved at the end of typechecking by
 instantiating them to their glb, adding upper bound constraints associated to
 them. Also: - Add polymorphic flag for inductives. - Fix cooking partially -
 Fix kernel/univ.ml to do normalization of universe expressions at the end of
 substitution.

Subject: [PATCH 171/440] Correct classes/structures universe inference

- Required a bit of extension in Univ to handle Max properly (sup u
(u+1)) was returning (max(u,u+1)) for example.
- Try a version where substitution of universe expressions for universe
levels is allowed at the end of unification. By an invariant this
should only instantiate with max() types that are morally "on the
right" only.
This is controlled using a rigidity attribute of universe variables,
also allowing to properly do unification w.r.t. universes during
typechecking/inference.
- Currently fails in Vectors/Fin.v because case compilation generates
"flexible" universes that actually appear in the term...

Subject: [PATCH 172/440] Fix unification of universe variables.

- Fix choice of canonical universe in presence of universe constraints,
and do so by relying on a trichotomy for universe variables: rigid
(won't be substituted), flexible (might be if not substituted by an
algebraic) and flexible_alg (always substituted).
- Fix romega code and a few more plugins, most of the standard library
goes through now.
- Had to define some inductives as Polymorphic explicitly to make
proofs go through, more to come, and definitions should be polymorphic
too, otherwise inconsistencies appear quickly (two uses of the same
polymorphic ind through monomorphic functions (like nth on lists of
Props and nats) will fix the monomorphic function's universe with eq
constraints that are incompatible).
- Correct universe polymorphism handling for fixpoint/cofixpoint
definitions.

 number syntax plugin. - Fix setoid_ring to take its coefficients in a Set
 rather than a Type, avoiding a large number of useless universe constraints.

Subject: [PATCH 175/440] - Fix minor checker decl - Fix btauto w.r.t. GRef -
 Fix proofview to normalize universes in the original types as well. - Fix
 definitions of projections to not take two universes at the same level, but
 at different levels instead, avoiding unnecessary constraints that could
 lower the level of one component depending on the use of the other component.

Subject: [PATCH 179/440] Compile everything. - "Fix" checker by deactivating
 code related to polymorphism, should be updated. - Make most of List.v
 polymorphic to help with following definitions. - When starting a lemma,
 normalize w.r.t. universes, so that the types get a fixed universe, not
 refinable later. - In record, don't assign a fully flexible universe variable
 to the record type if it is a definitional typeclass, as translate_constant
 doesn't expect an algebraic universe in the type of a constant. It certainly
 should though. - Fix micromega code.

Subject: [PATCH 184/440] Keep universe contexts of inductives/constants in
 entries for correct substitution inside modules. Abstract interface to get an
 instantiation of an inductive with its universe substitution in the kernel
 (no substitution if the inductive is not polymorphic, even if mind_universes
 is non-empty).

Subject: [PATCH 208/440] Make kernel reduction and term comparison strictly
 aware of universe instances, with variants for relaxed comparison that output
 constraints. Otherwise some constraints that should appear during pretyping
 don't and we generate unnecessary constraints/universe variables. Have to
 adapt a few tactics to this new behavior by making them universe aware.

From: Matthieu Sozeau <mattam@mattam.org>
Date: Fri, 7 Dec 2012 02:35:04 -0500
Subject: [PATCH 209/440] - Fix elimschemes to minimize universe variables -
 Fix coercions to not forget the universe constraints generated by an
 application - Change universe substitutions to maps instead of assoc lists. -
 Fix absurd tactic to handle univs properly - Make length and app polymorphic
 in List, unification sets their levels otherwise.

Subject: [PATCH 212/440] Change evar_map structure to support an incremental
 substitution of universes (populated from Eq constraints), allowing safe and
 fast inference of precise levels, without computing lubs. - Add many printers
 and reorganize code - Extend nf_evar to normalize universe variables
 according to the substitution. - Fix ChoiceFacts.v in Logic, no universe
 inconsistencies anymore. But Diaconescu still has one (something fixes a
 universe to Set). - Adapt omega, functional induction to the changes.

Subject: [PATCH 221/440] - Fixing parsing so that [Polymorphic] can be applied
 to gallina extensions. - When elaborating definitions, make the universes
 from the type rigid when checking the term: they should stay abstracted. -
 Fix typeclasses eauto's handling of universes for exact hints.

Subject: [PATCH 222/440] Rework all the code for infering the levels of
 inductives and checking their allowed eliminations sorts.

This is based on the computation of a natural level for an inductive type I.
The natural level [nat] of [I : args -> sort := c1 : A1 -> I t1 .. cn : An -> I tn] is
computed by taking the max of the levels of the args (if indices matter) and the
levels of the constructor arguments.
The declared level [decl] of I is [sort], which might be Prop, Set or some Type u (u fresh
or not).
If [decl >= nat && not (decl = Prop && n >= 2)], the level of the inductive is [decl],
otherwise, _smashing_ occured.
If [decl] is impredicative (Prop or Set when Set is impredicative), we accept the
declared level, otherwise it's an error.

To compute the allowed elimination sorts, we have the following situations:
- No smashing occured: all sorts are allowed. (Recall props that are not
smashed are Empty/Unitary props)
- Some smashing occured:
 - if [decl] is Type, we allow all eliminations (above or below [decl],
   not sure why this is justified in general).
 - if [decl] is Set, we used smashing for impredicativity, so only
   small sorts are allowed (Prop, Set).
 - if [decl] is Prop, only logical sorts are allowed: I has either
   large universes inside it or more than 1 constructor.
   This does not treat the case where only a Set appeared in I which
   was previously accepted it seems.

All the standard library works with these changes. Still have to cleanup
kernel/indtypes.ml. It is a good time to have a whiskey with OJ.

Subject: [PATCH 224/440] Thanks to Peter Lumsdaine for bug reporting: - fix
 externalisation of universe instances (still appearing when no Printing
 Universes) - add [convert] and [convert_leq] tactics that keep track of evars
 and universe constraints. - use them in [exact_check].

From c0fa398bbc7a764bdf66036f1fba11b2f2360077 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Matthieu Sozeau <mattam@mattam.org>
Date: Wed, 19 Dec 2012 13:27:18 -0500
Subject: [PATCH 229/440] - Move Ring/Field back to Type. It was silently
 putting R in Set due to the definition of ring_morph. - Rework inference of
 universe levels for inductive definitions. - Make fold_left/right polymorphic
 on both levels A and B (the list's type). They don't have to be at the same
 level.

Subject: [PATCH 232/440] - Better substitution of algebraics in algebraics
 (for universe variables that can be algebraics). - Fix issue #2, Context was
 not properly normalizing the universe context. - Fix issue with typeclasses
 that were not catching UniverseInconsistencies raised by unification,
 resulting in early failure of proof-search. - Let the result type of
 definitional classes be an algebraic.

Subject: [PATCH 236/440] - Fix a bug in unification that was failing too early
 if a choice in unification of universes raised an inconsistency. - While
 normalizing universes, remove Prop in the le part of Max expressions. - Stop
 rigidifying the universes on the right hand side of a : in definitions.

From 740b09ab3b39cd9e9e0908b3f6cf235837645f91 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

Subject: [PATCH 240/440] First part of the big changes to the kernel: - Const,
 Ind, Construct now come with a universe level instance - It is used for type
 inference in the kernel, which now also takes a graph as input: actually a
 set of local universe variables and their constraints. Type inference just
 checks that the constraints are enough to satisfy its own rules. - Remove
 polymorphic_arity and _knowing_parameters everywhere: we don't need full
 applications for polymorphism to apply anymore, as we generate fresh
 variables at each constant/inductive/constructor application. However
 knowing_parameters variants might be reinstated later for optimization. - New
 structures exported in univ.mli:   - universe_list for universe level
 instances   - universe_context(_set) for the local universe constraints, also
 recording which variables will be local and hence generalized after inference
 if defining a polymorphic ind/constant. - this patch makes coq stop compiling
 at indtypes.ml

Subject: [PATCH 241/440] Adapt kernel, library, pretyping, tactics and
 toplevel to universe polymorphism. Various degrees of integration, places
 where I was not sure what to do or just postponed bigger reorganizations of
 the code are marked with FIXMEs. Main changes: - Kernel now checks
 constraints and does not infer them anymore. - The inference functions
 produce a context of constraints that were checked during inference, useful
 to do double-checking of the univ. poly. code but might be removed later. -
 Constant, Inductive entries now have a universe context (local variables and
 constraints) associated to them. - Printing, debugging functions for the new
 structures are also implemented. - Now stopping at Logic.v - Lots of new code
 in kernel/univ.ml that should be reviewed. - kernel/indtypes probably does
 not do what's right when inferring inductive type constraints. - Adapted evd
 to use the new universe context structure. - Did not deal with
 unification/evar_conv.

From c4a4ac5a647fec28b5dfd8546e759b4092e9457a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Matthieu Sozeau <mattam@mattam.org>
Date: Tue, 16 Oct 2012 23:58:52 -0400
Subject: [PATCH 242/440] - Add externalisation code for universe level
 instances. - Support for polymorphism in pretyping/command and
 proofs/proofview etc.   Needed wrapping of [fresh_.._instance] through the
 evar_map, which   contains the local state of universes during type-checking.
 - Correct the inductive scheme generation to support polymorphism as well. -
 Have to review kernel code for correctness, and especially rework the  
 computation of universe constraints for inductives. Stops somewhat later in
 Logic.v

From b0aac34d5075e356386487e6bf203038424ddd05 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Matthieu Sozeau <mattam@mattam.org>
Date: Thu, 18 Oct 2012 21:35:33 -0400
Subject: [PATCH 243/440] - Fix naming of local/toplevel universes to be
 correctly done at typechecking time:   local variables have no dirpath. - Add
 code to do substitution of universes in modules, not finished yet. - Move
 fresh_* functions out of kernel, it won't ever build a universe level again!
 - Adapt a lot of new_Type to use the correct dirpath and declare the new
 types in the evar_map so we keep track of them. - A bit of code factorization
 (evd_comb moved, pretype_global).

From b4cd44564e02133e0886cca8603bfe4fe37d4eb8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Matthieu Sozeau <mattam@mattam.org>
Date: Fri, 19 Oct 2012 03:34:16 -0400
Subject: [PATCH 244/440] - Refactor more code - Adapt plugins code (sometimes
 wrong, marked with FIXME) - Fix cases generating unneeded universe (not sure
 it's ok though) - Fix scheme generation for good, might have opportunity to
 cleanup the terms later.

From a3b7c9527edbfaafac9ba347ba46566bbab682da Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Matthieu Sozeau <mattam@mattam.org>
Date: Tue, 23 Oct 2012 00:03:44 -0400
Subject: [PATCH 245/440] Init compiles now (which means rewrite, inversion,
 elim etc.. work as well). - Unsolved issue of pretyping to lower sorts
 properly (to Prop for example).   This has to do with the
 (Retyping.get_type_of) giving algebraic universes that   would appear on the
 right of constraints.   This makes checking for dangling universes at the end
 of pretyping fail,   hence the check in kernel/univ was removed. It should
 come back when we have   a fix for this. - Correctly (?) compute the levels
 of inductive types.   Removed old code pertaining to universe polymorphism.
 Note that we generate   constraint variables for the conclusion of inductive
 types invariably. - Shrink constraints before going to the kernel, combine
 substitution of the   smaller universe set with normalization of evars (maybe
 not done everywhere,   only ordinary inductives, definitions and proofs) -
 More API reworks overall. tclPUSHCONTEXT can be used to add fresh universes  
 to the proof goal (used in a few places to get the right instance. - Quick
 fix for auto that won't work in the long run. It should always have been  
 restricted to take constant references as input, without any loss of
 generality   over constrs.

Subject: [PATCH 247/440] Cleanup and move code from kernel to library and from
 pretyping to library too. Now there is a unique universe counter declared in
 library/universes.ml along with all the functions to generate new universes
 and get fresh constant/inductive terms. - Various function renamings - One
 important change in kernel/univ.ml: now [sup] can be applied to Prop. - Adapt
 records/classes to universe polymorphism - Now stops in EqDepFacts due to
 imprecise universe polymorphism.

Subject: [PATCH 249/440] interp_constr returns the universe context

The context is then pushed through the environment (or proof goal
sigma).
- Fix insertion of constants/inductives in env, pushing constraints to
the global env for non-polymorphic ones.
- Add Prop as a universe level to do proper type inference with sorts.
It is allowed to take [sup] of [Prop] now.
- New nf_evar based on new Evd.map(_undefined)
- In proofs/logic.ml: conv_leq_goal might create some constraints that
are now recorded.
- Adapt Program code to universes.

Subject: [PATCH 250/440] Merge with latest trunk + fixes

-Use new constr_of_global from universes
- fix eqschemes to use polymorphic universes
- begin fixing cctac but f_equal still fails
- fix [simpl] and rest of tacred
- all the eq_constr with mkConst foo should be fixed as well, only
partially done

Subject: [PATCH 252/440] Add a set of undefined universe variables to
 unification. Universe variables can now be declared rigid or flexible
 (unifiable). Flexible variables are resolved at the end of typechecking by
 instantiating them to their glb, adding upper bound constraints associated to
 them. Also: - Add polymorphic flag for inductives. - Fix cooking partially -
 Fix kernel/univ.ml to do normalization of universe expressions at the end of
 substitution.

Subject: [PATCH 253/440] Correct classes/structures universe inference

- Required a bit of extension in Univ to handle Max properly (sup u
(u+1)) was returning (max(u,u+1)) for example.
- Try a version where substitution of universe expressions for universe
levels is allowed at the end of unification. By an invariant this
should only instantiate with max() types that are morally "on the
right" only.
This is controlled using a rigidity attribute of universe variables,
also allowing to properly do unification w.r.t. universes during
typechecking/inference.
- Currently fails in Vectors/Fin.v because case compilation generates
"flexible" universes that actually appear in the term...

From: Matthieu Sozeau <mattam@mattam.org>
Date: Fri, 2 Nov 2012 19:10:38 -0400
Subject: [PATCH 254/440] Fix unification of universe variables.

- Fix choice of canonical universe in presence of universe constraints,
and do so by relying on a trichotomy for universe variables: rigid
(won't be substituted), flexible (might be if not substituted by an
algebraic) and flexible_alg (always substituted).
- Fix romega code and a few more plugins, most of the standard library
goes through now.
- Had to define some inductives as Polymorphic explicitly to make
proofs go through, more to come, and definitions should be polymorphic
too, otherwise inconsistencies appear quickly (two uses of the same
polymorphic ind through monomorphic functions (like nth on lists of
Props and nats) will fix the monomorphic function's universe with eq
constraints that are incompatible).
- Correct universe polymorphism handling for fixpoint/cofixpoint
definitions.

Subject: [PATCH 256/440] - Fix substitution saturation of universes. - Fix
 number syntax plugin. - Fix setoid_ring to take its coefficients in a Set
 rather than a Type, avoiding a large number of useless universe constraints.

Subject: [PATCH 257/440] - Fix minor checker decl - Fix btauto w.r.t. GRef -
 Fix proofview to normalize universes in the original types as well. - Fix
 definitions of projections to not take two universes at the same level, but
 at different levels instead, avoiding unnecessary constraints that could
 lower the level of one component depending on the use of the other component.

Subject: [PATCH 261/440] Compile everything. - "Fix" checker by deactivating
 code related to polymorphism, should be updated. - Make most of List.v
 polymorphic to help with following definitions. - When starting a lemma,
 normalize w.r.t. universes, so that the types get a fixed universe, not
 refinable later. - In record, don't assign a fully flexible universe variable
 to the record type if it is a definitional typeclass, as translate_constant
 doesn't expect an algebraic universe in the type of a constant. It certainly
 should though. - Fix micromega code.

Subject: [PATCH 266/440] Keep universe contexts of inductives/constants in
 entries for correct substitution inside modules. Abstract interface to get an
 instantiation of an inductive with its universe substitution in the kernel
 (no substitution if the inductive is not polymorphic, even if mind_universes
 is non-empty).

Subject: [PATCH 290/440] Make kernel reduction and term comparison strictly
 aware of universe instances, with variants for relaxed comparison that output
 constraints. Otherwise some constraints that should appear during pretyping
 don't and we generate unnecessary constraints/universe variables. Have to
 adapt a few tactics to this new behavior by making them universe aware.

Subject: [PATCH 291/440] - Fix elimschemes to minimize universe variables -
 Fix coercions to not forget the universe constraints generated by an
 application - Change universe substitutions to maps instead of assoc lists. -
 Fix absurd tactic to handle univs properly - Make length and app polymorphic
 in List, unification sets their levels otherwise.

From eb0a6e8cabce766a6c3698bfc1ba34f339b688d0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Matthieu Sozeau <mattam@mattam.org>
Date: Sun, 9 Dec 2012 03:18:38 -0500
Subject: [PATCH 294/440] Change evar_map structure to support an incremental
 substitution of universes (populated from Eq constraints), allowing safe and
 fast inference of precise levels, without computing lubs. - Add many printers
 and reorganize code - Extend nf_evar to normalize universe variables
 according to the substitution. - Fix ChoiceFacts.v in Logic, no universe
 inconsistencies anymore. But Diaconescu still has one (something fixes a
 universe to Set). - Adapt omega, functional induction to the changes.

 to gallina extensions. - When elaborating definitions, make the universes
 from the type rigid when checking the term: they should stay abstracted. -

From: Matthieu Sozeau <mattam@mattam.org>
Date: Thu, 13 Dec 2012 00:12:38 -0500
Subject: [PATCH 304/440] Rework all the code for infering the levels of
 inductives and checking their allowed eliminations sorts.

This is based on the computation of a natural level for an inductive type I.
The natural level [nat] of [I : args -> sort := c1 : A1 -> I t1 .. cn : An -> I tn] is
computed by taking the max of the levels of the args (if indices matter) and the
levels of the constructor arguments.
The declared level [decl] of I is [sort], which might be Prop, Set or some Type u (u fresh
or not).
If [decl >= nat && not (decl = Prop && n >= 2)], the level of the inductive is [decl],
otherwise, _smashing_ occured.
If [decl] is impredicative (Prop or Set when Set is impredicative), we accept the
declared level, otherwise it's an error.

To compute the allowed elimination sorts, we have the following situations:
- No smashing occured: all sorts are allowed. (Recall props that are not
smashed are Empty/Unitary props)
- Some smashing occured:
 - if [decl] is Type, we allow all eliminations (above or below [decl],
   not sure why this is justified in general).
 - if [decl] is Set, we used smashing for impredicativity, so only
   small sorts are allowed (Prop, Set).
 - if [decl] is Prop, only logical sorts are allowed: I has either
   large universes inside it or more than 1 constructor.
   This does not treat the case where only a Set appeared in I which
   was previously accepted it seems.

All the standard library works with these changes. Still have to cleanup
kernel/indtypes.ml. It is a good time to have a whiskey with OJ.

Subject: [PATCH 306/440] Thanks to Peter Lumsdaine for bug reporting: - fix
 externalisation of universe instances (still appearing when no Printing
 Universes) - add [convert] and [convert_leq] tactics that keep track of evars
 and universe constraints. - use them in [exact_check].

From ff1e10c26079bebe2cd4e81e74ae5f227227bcdd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Matthieu Sozeau <mattam@mattam.org>
Date: Wed, 19 Dec 2012 13:27:18 -0500
Subject: [PATCH 311/440] - Move Ring/Field back to Type. It was silently
 putting R in Set due to the definition of ring_morph. - Rework inference of
 universe levels for inductive definitions. - Make fold_left/right polymorphic
 on both levels A and B (the list's type). They don't have to be at the same
 level.

Subject: [PATCH 315/440] Backport patches on HoTT/coq to rebased version of
 universe polymorphism.

- Fix autorewrite wrong handling of universe-polymorphic rewrite rules. Fixes part of issue #7.
- Fix the [eq_constr_univs] and add an [leq_constr_univs] to avoid eager equation of universe
 levels that could just be inequal. Use it during kernel conversion. Fixes issue #6.
- Fix a bug in unification that was failing too early if a choice in unification of universes
 raised an inconsistency.
- While normalizing universes, remove Prop in the le part of Max expressions.
- Stop rigidifying the universes on the right hand side of a : in definitions.
- Now Hints can be declared polymorphic or not. In the first case they
 must be "refreshed" (undefined universes are renamed) at each application.
- Have to refresh the set of universe variables associated to a hint
 when it can be used multiple times in a single proof to avoid fixing
 a level... A better & less expensive solution should exist.
- Do not include the levels of let-ins as part of records levels.
- Fix a NotConvertible uncaught exception to raise a more informative
 error message.
- Better substitution of algebraics in algebraics (for universe variables that
 can be algebraics).
- Fix issue #2, Context was not properly normalizing the universe context.
- Fix issue with typeclasses that were not catching UniverseInconsistencies
  raised by unification, resulting in early failure of proof-search.
- Let the result type of definitional classes be an algebraic.
- Adapt coercions to universe polymorphic flag (Identity Coercion etc..)
- Move away a dangerous call in autoinstance that added constraints for every
polymorphic definitions once in the environment for no use.

From 9f22d8b18b5c20967246ef2661e59c3ab4d24e35 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

Subject: [PATCH 320/440] First part of the big changes to the kernel: - Const,
 Ind, Construct now come with a universe level instance - It is used for type
 inference in the kernel, which now also takes a graph as input: actually a
 set of local universe variables and their constraints. Type inference just
 checks that the constraints are enough to satisfy its own rules. - Remove
 polymorphic_arity and _knowing_parameters everywhere: we don't need full
 applications for polymorphism to apply anymore, as we generate fresh
 variables at each constant/inductive/constructor application. However
 knowing_parameters variants might be reinstated later for optimization. - New
 structures exported in univ.mli:   - universe_list for universe level
 instances   - universe_context(_set) for the local universe constraints, also
 recording which variables will be local and hence generalized after inference
 if defining a polymorphic ind/constant. - this patch makes coq stop compiling
 at indtypes.ml

Subject: [PATCH 321/440] Adapt kernel, library, pretyping, tactics and
 toplevel to universe polymorphism. Various degrees of integration, places
 where I was not sure what to do or just postponed bigger reorganizations of
 the code are marked with FIXMEs. Main changes: - Kernel now checks
 constraints and does not infer them anymore. - The inference functions
 produce a context of constraints that were checked during inference, useful
 to do double-checking of the univ. poly. code but might be removed later. -
 Constant, Inductive entries now have a universe context (local variables and
 constraints) associated to them. - Printing, debugging functions for the new
 structures are also implemented. - Now stopping at Logic.v - Lots of new code
 in kernel/univ.ml that should be reviewed. - kernel/indtypes probably does
 not do what's right when inferring inductive type constraints. - Adapted evd
 to use the new universe context structure. - Did not deal with
 unification/evar_conv.

From b4f7598a5d560c63879899e44142a64e4cec609e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Matthieu Sozeau <mattam@mattam.org>
Date: Tue, 16 Oct 2012 23:58:52 -0400
Subject: [PATCH 322/440] - Add externalisation code for universe level
 instances. - Support for polymorphism in pretyping/command and
 proofs/proofview etc.   Needed wrapping of [fresh_.._instance] through the
 evar_map, which   contains the local state of universes during type-checking.
 - Correct the inductive scheme generation to support polymorphism as well. -
 Have to review kernel code for correctness, and especially rework the  
 computation of universe constraints for inductives. Stops somewhat later in
 Logic.v

From 3017509d72b45c4ee4d74cb41b1b92d0b9715566 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Matthieu Sozeau <mattam@mattam.org>
Date: Thu, 18 Oct 2012 21:35:33 -0400
Subject: [PATCH 323/440] - Fix naming of local/toplevel universes to be
 correctly done at typechecking time:   local variables have no dirpath. - Add
 code to do substitution of universes in modules, not finished yet. - Move
 fresh_* functions out of kernel, it won't ever build a universe level again!
 - Adapt a lot of new_Type to use the correct dirpath and declare the new
 types in the evar_map so we keep track of them. - A bit of code factorization
 (evd_comb moved, pretype_global).

From 595c7dbb3c04fca65e0bb73300d8351699363bc9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Matthieu Sozeau <mattam@mattam.org>
Date: Fri, 19 Oct 2012 03:34:16 -0400
Subject: [PATCH 324/440] - Refactor more code - Adapt plugins code (sometimes
 wrong, marked with FIXME) - Fix cases generating unneeded universe (not sure
 it's ok though) - Fix scheme generation for good, might have opportunity to
 cleanup the terms later.

From 5a6747719e4f7381e671aeef2cc06f6915901dfb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Matthieu Sozeau <mattam@mattam.org>
Date: Tue, 23 Oct 2012 00:03:44 -0400
Subject: [PATCH 325/440] Init compiles now (which means rewrite, inversion,
 elim etc.. work as well). - Unsolved issue of pretyping to lower sorts
 properly (to Prop for example).   This has to do with the
 (Retyping.get_type_of) giving algebraic universes that   would appear on the
 right of constraints.   This makes checking for dangling universes at the end
 of pretyping fail,   hence the check in kernel/univ was removed. It should
 come back when we have   a fix for this. - Correctly (?) compute the levels
 of inductive types.   Removed old code pertaining to universe polymorphism.
 Note that we generate   constraint variables for the conclusion of inductive
 types invariably. - Shrink constraints before going to the kernel, combine
 substitution of the   smaller universe set with normalization of evars (maybe
 not done everywhere,   only ordinary inductives, definitions and proofs) -
 More API reworks overall. tclPUSHCONTEXT can be used to add fresh universes  
 to the proof goal (used in a few places to get the right instance. - Quick
 fix for auto that won't work in the long run. It should always have been  
 restricted to take constant references as input, without any loss of
 generality   over constrs.

Subject: [PATCH 327/440] Cleanup and move code from kernel to library and from
 pretyping to library too. Now there is a unique universe counter declared in
 library/universes.ml along with all the functions to generate new universes
 and get fresh constant/inductive terms. - Various function renamings - One
 important change in kernel/univ.ml: now [sup] can be applied to Prop. - Adapt
 records/classes to universe polymorphism - Now stops in EqDepFacts due to
 imprecise universe polymorphism.

Subject: [PATCH 329/440] interp_constr returns the universe context

The context is then pushed through the environment (or proof goal
sigma).
- Fix insertion of constants/inductives in env, pushing constraints to
the global env for non-polymorphic ones.
- Add Prop as a universe level to do proper type inference with sorts.
It is allowed to take [sup] of [Prop] now.
- New nf_evar based on new Evd.map(_undefined)
- In proofs/logic.ml: conv_leq_goal might create some constraints that
are now recorded.
- Adapt Program code to universes.

Subject: [PATCH 330/440] Merge with latest trunk + fixes

-Use new constr_of_global from universes
- fix eqschemes to use polymorphic universes
- begin fixing cctac but f_equal still fails
- fix [simpl] and rest of tacred
- all the eq_constr with mkConst foo should be fixed as well, only
partially done

Subject: [PATCH 332/440] Add a set of undefined universe variables to
 unification. Universe variables can now be declared rigid or flexible
 (unifiable). Flexible variables are resolved at the end of typechecking by
 instantiating them to their glb, adding upper bound constraints associated to
 them. Also: - Add polymorphic flag for inductives. - Fix cooking partially -
 Fix kernel/univ.ml to do normalization of universe expressions at the end of
 substitution.

Subject: [PATCH 333/440] Correct classes/structures universe inference

- Required a bit of extension in Univ to handle Max properly (sup u
(u+1)) was returning (max(u,u+1)) for example.
- Try a version where substitution of universe expressions for universe
levels is allowed at the end of unification. By an invariant this
should only instantiate with max() types that are morally "on the
right" only.
This is controlled using a rigidity attribute of universe variables,
also allowing to properly do unification w.r.t. universes during
typechecking/inference.
- Currently fails in Vectors/Fin.v because case compilation generates
"flexible" universes that actually appear in the term...

From c97fbc6f1570d48057bba94bbdbddf1f6133541b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Matthieu Sozeau <mattam@mattam.org>
Date: Fri, 2 Nov 2012 19:10:38 -0400
Subject: [PATCH 334/440] Fix unification of universe variables.

- Fix choice of canonical universe in presence of universe constraints,
and do so by relying on a trichotomy for universe variables: rigid
(won't be substituted), flexible (might be if not substituted by an
algebraic) and flexible_alg (always substituted).
- Fix romega code and a few more plugins, most of the standard library
goes through now.
- Had to define some inductives as Polymorphic explicitly to make
proofs go through, more to come, and definitions should be polymorphic
too, otherwise inconsistencies appear quickly (two uses of the same
polymorphic ind through monomorphic functions (like nth on lists of
Props and nats) will fix the monomorphic function's universe with eq
constraints that are incompatible).
- Correct universe polymorphism handling for fixpoint/cofixpoint
definitions.

From: Matthieu Sozeau <mattam@mattam.org>

Subject: [PATCH 336/440] - Fix substitution saturation of universes. - Fix
 number syntax plugin. - Fix setoid_ring to take its coefficients in a Set
 rather than a Type, avoiding a large number of useless universe constraints.

Subject: [PATCH 337/440] - Fix minor checker decl - Fix btauto w.r.t. GRef -
 Fix proofview to normalize universes in the original types as well. - Fix
 definitions of projections to not take two universes at the same level, but
 at different levels instead, avoiding unnecessary constraints that could
 lower the level of one component depending on the use of the other component.

Subject: [PATCH 341/440] Compile everything. - "Fix" checker by deactivating
 code related to polymorphism, should be updated. - Make most of List.v
 polymorphic to help with following definitions. - When starting a lemma,
 normalize w.r.t. universes, so that the types get a fixed universe, not
 refinable later. - In record, don't assign a fully flexible universe variable
 to the record type if it is a definitional typeclass, as translate_constant
 doesn't expect an algebraic universe in the type of a constant. It certainly
 should though. - Fix micromega code.

Subject: [PATCH 346/440] Keep universe contexts of inductives/constants in
 entries for correct substitution inside modules. Abstract interface to get an
 instantiation of an inductive with its universe substitution in the kernel
 (no substitution if the inductive is not polymorphic, even if mind_universes
 is non-empty).

Subject: [PATCH 370/440] Make kernel reduction and term comparison strictly
 aware of universe instances, with variants for relaxed comparison that output
 constraints. Otherwise some constraints that should appear during pretyping
 don't and we generate unnecessary constraints/universe variables. Have to
 adapt a few tactics to this new behavior by making them universe aware.

Date: Fri, 7 Dec 2012 02:35:04 -0500
Subject: [PATCH 371/440] - Fix elimschemes to minimize universe variables -
 Fix coercions to not forget the universe constraints generated by an
 application - Change universe substitutions to maps instead of assoc lists. -
 Fix absurd tactic to handle univs properly - Make length and app polymorphic
 in List, unification sets their levels otherwise.

From 886b3a905cee275aca2594b95a0bc2984e9bb229 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Matthieu Sozeau <mattam@mattam.org>
Date: Sun, 9 Dec 2012 03:18:38 -0500
Subject: [PATCH 374/440] Change evar_map structure to support an incremental
 substitution of universes (populated from Eq constraints), allowing safe and
 fast inference of precise levels, without computing lubs. - Add many printers
 and reorganize code - Extend nf_evar to normalize universe variables
 according to the substitution. - Fix ChoiceFacts.v in Logic, no universe
 inconsistencies anymore. But Diaconescu still has one (something fixes a
 universe to Set). - Adapt omega, functional induction to the changes.

From: Matthieu Sozeau <mattam@mattam.org>
Date: Thu, 13 Dec 2012 00:12:38 -0500
Subject: [PATCH 384/440] Rework all the code for infering the levels of
 inductives and checking their allowed eliminations sorts.

This is based on the computation of a natural level for an inductive type I.
The natural level [nat] of [I : args -> sort := c1 : A1 -> I t1 .. cn : An -> I tn] is
computed by taking the max of the levels of the args (if indices matter) and the
levels of the constructor arguments.
The declared level [decl] of I is [sort], which might be Prop, Set or some Type u (u fresh
or not).
If [decl >= nat && not (decl = Prop && n >= 2)], the level of the inductive is [decl],
otherwise, _smashing_ occured.
If [decl] is impredicative (Prop or Set when Set is impredicative), we accept the
declared level, otherwise it's an error.

To compute the allowed elimination sorts, we have the following situations:
- No smashing occured: all sorts are allowed. (Recall props that are not
smashed are Empty/Unitary props)
- Some smashing occured:
 - if [decl] is Type, we allow all eliminations (above or below [decl],
   not sure why this is justified in general).
 - if [decl] is Set, we used smashing for impredicativity, so only
   small sorts are allowed (Prop, Set).
 - if [decl] is Prop, only logical sorts are allowed: I has either
   large universes inside it or more than 1 constructor.
   This does not treat the case where only a Set appeared in I which
   was previously accepted it seems.

All the standard library works with these changes. Still have to cleanup
kernel/indtypes.ml. It is a good time to have a whiskey with OJ.

Subject: [PATCH 386/440] Thanks to Peter Lumsdaine for bug reporting: - fix
 externalisation of universe instances (still appearing when no Printing
 Universes) - add [convert] and [convert_leq] tactics that keep track of evars
 and universe constraints. - use them in [exact_check].

From 33c558690c5b59dd6c83298d0f4a6dab7fe137d0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Matthieu Sozeau <mattam@mattam.org>
Date: Wed, 19 Dec 2012 13:27:18 -0500
Subject: [PATCH 391/440] - Move Ring/Field back to Type. It was silently
 putting R in Set due to the definition of ring_morph. - Rework inference of
 universe levels for inductive definitions. - Make fold_left/right polymorphic
 on both levels A and B (the list's type). They don't have to be at the same
 level.

Subject: [PATCH 395/440] Backport patches on HoTT/coq to rebased version of
 universe polymorphism.

- Fix autorewrite wrong handling of universe-polymorphic rewrite rules. Fixes part of issue #7.
- Fix the [eq_constr_univs] and add an [leq_constr_univs] to avoid eager equation of universe
 levels that could just be inequal. Use it during kernel conversion. Fixes issue #6.
- Fix a bug in unification that was failing too early if a choice in unification of universes
 raised an inconsistency.
- While normalizing universes, remove Prop in the le part of Max expressions.
- Stop rigidifying the universes on the right hand side of a : in definitions.
- Now Hints can be declared polymorphic or not. In the first case they
 must be "refreshed" (undefined universes are renamed) at each application.
- Have to refresh the set of universe variables associated to a hint
 when it can be used multiple times in a single proof to avoid fixing
 a level... A better & less expensive solution should exist.
- Do not include the levels of let-ins as part of records levels.
- Fix a NotConvertible uncaught exception to raise a more informative
 error message.
- Better substitution of algebraics in algebraics (for universe variables that
 can be algebraics).
- Fix issue #2, Context was not properly normalizing the universe context.
- Fix issue with typeclasses that were not catching UniverseInconsistencies
  raised by unification, resulting in early failure of proof-search.
- Let the result type of definitional classes be an algebraic.
- Adapt coercions to universe polymorphic flag (Identity Coercion etc..)
- Move away a dangerous call in autoinstance that added constraints for every
polymorphic definitions once in the environment for no use.

Subject: [PATCH 401/440] Fix program w.r.t. universes: the universe context of
 a definition changes according to the successive refinements due to
 typechecking obligations. This requires the Proof modules to return the
 generated universe substitution when finishing a proof, and this information
 is passed in the closing hook. The interface is not very clean, will
 certainly change in the future.

Subject: [PATCH 402/440] - Better treatment of polymorphic hints in auto:
 terms can be polymorphic now, we refresh their context as well. - Needs a
 little change in test-pattern that seems breaks multiary uses of destruct in
 NZDiv.v, l495. FIX to do.

Subject: [PATCH 404/440] - Fix printing of universe instances that should not
 be factorized blindly - Fix handling of the universe context in program
 definitions by allowing the hook at the end of an interactive proof to give
 back the refined universe context, before it is transformed in the kernel. -
 Fix a bug in evarconv where solve_evar_evar was not checking types of
 instances, resulting in a loss of constraints in unification of universes and
 a growing number of useless parametric universes.

Subject: [PATCH 406/440] A quick and dirty approach to private inductive types
 Types for which computable functions are provided, but pattern-matching is
 disallowed. This kind of type can be used to simulate simple forms of higher
 inductive types, with convertibility for applications of the inductive
 principle to 0-constructors

Subject: [PATCH 408/440] This commit adds full universe polymorphism to Coq.

Add [Polymorphic] and [Monomorphic] local flag for definitions as well as
[Set Universe Polymorphism] global flag to make all following definitions
polymorphic. Mainly syntax for now.

First part of the big changes to the kernel:
- Const, Ind, Construct now come with a universe level instance
- It is used for type inference in the kernel, which now also takes
a graph as input: actually a set of local universe variables and their
constraints. Type inference just checks that the constraints are enough
to satisfy its own rules.
- Remove polymorphic_arity and _knowing_parameters everywhere: we
don't need full applications for polymorphism to apply anymore, as
we generate fresh variables at each constant/inductive/constructor
application. However knowing_parameters variants might be reinstated
later for optimization.
- New structures exported in univ.mli:
  - universe_list for universe level instances
  - universe_context(_set) for the local universe constraints, also
recording which variables will be local and hence generalized after
inference if defining a polymorphic ind/constant.
- this patch makes coq stop compiling at indtypes.ml

Adapt kernel, library, pretyping, tactics and toplevel to universe polymorphism.
Various degrees of integration, places where I was not sure what to do or
just postponed bigger reorganizations of the code are marked with FIXMEs.
Main changes:
- Kernel now checks constraints and does not infer them anymore.
- The inference functions produce a context of constraints that were checked
during inference, useful to do double-checking of the univ. poly. code
but might be removed later.
- Constant, Inductive entries now have a universe context (local variables
and constraints) associated to them.
- Printing, debugging functions for the new structures are also implemented.
- Now stopping at Logic.v
- Lots of new code in kernel/univ.ml that should be reviewed.
- kernel/indtypes probably does not do what's right when inferring inductive
type constraints.
- Adapted evd to use the new universe context structure.
- Did not deal with unification/evar_conv.

- Add externalisation code for universe level instances.
- Support for polymorphism in pretyping/command and proofs/proofview etc.
  Needed wrapping of [fresh_.._instance] through the evar_map, which
  contains the local state of universes during type-checking.
- Correct the inductive scheme generation to support polymorphism as well.
- Have to review kernel code for correctness, and especially rework the
  computation of universe constraints for inductives.
Stops somewhat later in Logic.v

- Fix naming of local/toplevel universes to be correctly done at typechecking time:
  local variables have no dirpath.
- Add code to do substitution of universes in modules, not finished yet.
- Move fresh_* functions out of kernel, it won't ever build a universe level again!
- Adapt a lot of new_Type to use the correct dirpath and declare the new types in the evar_map
so we keep track of them.
- A bit of code factorization (evd_comb moved, pretype_global).

- Refactor more code
- Adapt plugins code (sometimes wrong, marked with FIXME)
- Fix cases generating unneeded universe (not sure it's ok though)
- Fix scheme generation for good, might have opportunity to cleanup
the terms later.

Init compiles now (which means rewrite, inversion, elim etc.. work as well).
- Unsolved issue of pretyping to lower sorts properly (to Prop for example).
  This has to do with the (Retyping.get_type_of) giving algebraic universes that
  would appear on the right of constraints.
  This makes checking for dangling universes at the end of pretyping fail,
  hence the check in kernel/univ was removed. It should come back when we have
  a fix for this.
- Correctly (?) compute the levels of inductive types.
  Removed old code pertaining to universe polymorphism. Note that we generate
  constraint variables for the conclusion of inductive types invariably.
- Shrink constraints before going to the kernel, combine substitution of the
  smaller universe set with normalization of evars (maybe not done everywhere,
  only ordinary inductives, definitions and proofs)
- More API reworks overall. tclPUSHCONTEXT can be used to add fresh universes
  to the proof goal (used in a few places to get the right instance.
- Quick fix for auto that won't work in the long run. It should always have been
  restricted to take constant references as input, without any loss of generality
  over constrs.

Fix some plugins and insertion of non-polymorphic constants in a module.
Now stops in relation classes.

Cleanup and move code from kernel to library and from pretyping to library too.
Now there is a unique universe counter declared in library/universes.ml along
with all the functions to generate new universes and get fresh constant/inductive
terms.
- Various function renamings
- One important change in kernel/univ.ml: now [sup] can be applied to Prop.
- Adapt records/classes to universe polymorphism
- Now stops in EqDepFacts due to imprecise universe polymorphism.

Forgot to git add those files.

interp_constr returns the universe context

The context is then pushed through the environment (or proof goal
sigma).
- Fix insertion of constants/inductives in env, pushing constraints to
the global env for non-polymorphic ones.
- Add Prop as a universe level to do proper type inference with sorts.
It is allowed to take [sup] of [Prop] now.
- New nf_evar based on new Evd.map(_undefined)
- In proofs/logic.ml: conv_leq_goal might create some constraints that
are now recorded.
- Adapt Program code to universes.

Merge with latest trunk + fixes

-Use new constr_of_global from universes
- fix eqschemes to use polymorphic universes
- begin fixing cctac but f_equal still fails
- fix [simpl] and rest of tacred
- all the eq_constr with mkConst foo should be fixed as well, only
partially done

- Fix term hashing function to recognize equal terms up to universe instances.
- Fix congruence closure to equate terms that differ only in universe instances,
these will be resolved by constraints.

Add a set of undefined universe variables to unification.
Universe variables can now be declared rigid or flexible (unifiable).
Flexible variables are resolved at the end of typechecking by instantiating
them to their glb, adding upper bound constraints associated to them.
Also:
- Add polymorphic flag for inductives.
- Fix cooking partially
- Fix kernel/univ.ml to do normalization of universe expressions at
the end of substitution.

Correct classes/structures universe inference

- Required a bit of extension in Univ to handle Max properly (sup u
(u+1)) was returning (max(u,u+1)) for example.
- Try a version where substitution of universe expressions for universe
levels is allowed at the end of unification. By an invariant this
should only instantiate with max() types that are morally "on the
right" only.
This is controlled using a rigidity attribute of universe variables,
also allowing to properly do unification w.r.t. universes during
typechecking/inference.
- Currently fails in Vectors/Fin.v because case compilation generates
"flexible" universes that actually appear in the term...

Fix unification of universe variables.

- Fix choice of canonical universe in presence of universe constraints,
and do so by relying on a trichotomy for universe variables: rigid
(won't be substituted), flexible (might be if not substituted by an
algebraic) and flexible_alg (always substituted).
- Fix romega code and a few more plugins, most of the standard library
goes through now.
- Had to define some inductives as Polymorphic explicitly to make
proofs go through, more to come, and definitions should be polymorphic
too, otherwise inconsistencies appear quickly (two uses of the same
polymorphic ind through monomorphic functions (like nth on lists of
Props and nats) will fix the monomorphic function's universe with eq
constraints that are incompatible).
- Correct universe polymorphism handling for fixpoint/cofixpoint
definitions.

- Fix romega to use the right universes for list constructors.
- Fix internalization/externalization to deal properly with the
implicit parsing of params.
- Fix fourier tactic w.r.t. GRefs

- Fix substitution saturation of universes.
- Fix number syntax plugin.
- Fix setoid_ring to take its coefficients in a Set rather
than a Type, avoiding a large number of useless universe constraints.

- Fix minor checker decl
- Fix btauto w.r.t. GRef
- Fix proofview to normalize universes in the original types as well.
- Fix definitions of projections to not take two universes at the same level,
but at different levels instead, avoiding unnecessary constraints that could
lower the level of one component depending on the use of the other component.

Fix simpl fst, snd to use @fst @snd as they have maximal implicits now.

- More simpl snd, fst fixes.
- Try to make the nth theory of lists polymorphic.

Check with Enrico if this change is ok. Case appearing in RingMicromega's call
to congruence l417, through a call to refine -> the_conv_x_leq.

Compile everything.
- "Fix" checker by deactivating code related to polymorphism, should
be updated.
- Make most of List.v polymorphic to help with following definitions.
- When starting a lemma, normalize w.r.t. universes, so that the types
get a fixed universe, not refinable later.
- In record, don't assign a fully flexible universe variable to the record
type if it is a definitional typeclass, as translate_constant doesn't expect
an algebraic universe in the type of a constant. It certainly should though.
- Fix micromega code.

Fix after rebase.

Update printing functions to print the polymorphic status of definitions
and their universe context.

Refine printing of universe contexts

- Fix printer for universe constraints
- Rework normalization of constraints to separate the Union-Find result
  from computation of lubs/glbs.

Keep universe contexts of inductives/constants in entries for correct
substitution inside modules. Abstract interface to get an instantiation
of an inductive with its universe substitution in the kernel (no
substitution if the inductive is not polymorphic, even if mind_universes
is non-empty).

Make fst and snd polymorphic, fix instances in RelationPairs to use
different universes for the two elements of a pair.

- Fix bug in nf_constraints: was removing Set <= constraints, but should
remove Prop <= constraints only.
- Make proj1_sig, projT1... polymorphic to avoid weird universe unifications,
giving rise to universe inconsistenties.

Adapt auto hints to polymorphic references.

Really produce polymorphic hints... second try

- Remove algebraic universes that can't appear in the goal when taking the
  type of a lemma to start.

Proper handling of universe contexts in clenv and auto so that
polymorphic hints are really refreshed at each application.

Fix erroneous shadowing of sigma variable.

- Make apparent the universe context used in pretyping, including information
about flexibility of universe variables.
- Fix induction to generate a fresh constant instance with flexible universe variables.

Add function to do conversion w.r.t. an evar map and its local universes.

- Fix define_evar_as_sort to not forget constraints coming from the refinement.
- Do not nf_constraints while we don't have the whole term at hand to substitute in.

- Move substitution of full universes to Universes
- Normalize universes inside an evar_map when doing nf_evar_map_universes.
- Normalize universes at each call to interp_ltac (potentially expensive)

Do not normalize all evars at each call to interp_gen in tactics: rather
incrementally normalize the terms at hand, supposing the normalization of universes
will concern only those appearing in it (dangerous but much more efficient).

Do not needlessly generate new universes constraints for projections of records.

Correct polymorphic discharge of section variables.

Fix autorewrite w.r.t. universes: polymorphic rewrite hints get fresh universe
instances at each application.

Fix r2l rewrite scheme to support universe polymorphism

Fix a bug in l2r_forward scheme and fix congruence scheme to handle polymorphism correctly.

Second try at fixing autorewrite, cannot do without pushing the constraints and the set of fresh
universe variables into the proof context.

- tclPUSHCONTEXT allow to set the ctx universe variables as flexible or rigid
- Fix bug in elimschemes, not taking the right sigma

Wrong sigma used in leibniz_rewrite

Avoid recomputation of bounds for equal universes in normalization of constraints,
only the canonical one need to be computed.

Make coercions work with universe polymorphic projections.

Fix eronneous bound in universes constraint solving.

Make kernel reduction and term comparison strictly aware of universe instances,
with variants for relaxed comparison that output constraints.
Otherwise some constraints that should appear during pretyping don't and we generate
unnecessary constraints/universe variables.
Have to adapt a few tactics to this new behavior by making them universe aware.

- Fix elimschemes to minimize universe variables
- Fix coercions to not forget the universe constraints generated by an application
- Change universe substitutions to maps instead of assoc lists.
- Fix absurd tactic to handle univs properly
- Make length and app polymorphic in List, unification sets their levels otherwise.

Move to modules for namespace management instead of long names in universe code.

More putting things into modules.

Change evar_map structure to support an incremental substitution of universes
(populated from Eq constraints), allowing safe and fast inference of precise levels,
without computing lubs.
- Add many printers and reorganize code
- Extend nf_evar to normalize universe variables according to the substitution.
- Fix ChoiceFacts.v in Logic, no universe inconsistencies anymore. But Diaconescu
still has one (something fixes a universe to Set).
- Adapt omega, functional induction to the changes.

Fix congruence, eq_constr implem, discharge of polymorphic inductives.

Fix merge in auto.

The [-parameters-matter] option (formerly relevant_equality).

Add -parameters-matter to coqc

Do compute the param levels at elaboration time if parameters_matter.

- Fix generalize tactic
- add ppuniverse_subst
- Start fixing normalize_universe_context w.r.t. normalize_univ_variables.

- Fix HUGE bug in Ltac interpretation not folding the sigma correctly if interpreting a tactic application
to multiple arguments.
- Fix bug in union of universe substitution.

- rename parameters-matter to indices-matter
- Fix computation of levels from indices not parameters.

- Fixing parsing so that [Polymorphic] can be applied to gallina extensions.
- When elaborating definitions, make the universes from the type rigid when
checking the term: they should stay abstracted.
- Fix typeclasses eauto's handling of universes for exact hints.

Rework all the code for infering the levels of inductives and checking their
allowed eliminations sorts.

This is based on the computation of a natural level for an inductive type I.
The natural level [nat] of [I : args -> sort := c1 : A1 -> I t1 .. cn : An -> I tn] is
computed by taking the max of the levels of the args (if indices matter) and the
levels of the constructor arguments.
The declared level [decl] of I is [sort], which might be Prop, Set or some Type u (u fresh
or not).
If [decl >= nat && not (decl = Prop && n >= 2)], the level of the inductive is [decl],
otherwise, _smashing_ occured.
If [decl] is impredicative (Prop or Set when Set is impredicative), we accept the
declared level, otherwise it's an error.

To compute the allowed elimination sorts, we have the following situations:
- No smashing occured: all sorts are allowed. (Recall props that are not
smashed are Empty/Unitary props)
- Some smashing occured:
 - if [decl] is Type, we allow all eliminations (above or below [decl],
   not sure why this is justified in general).
 - if [decl] is Set, we used smashing for impredicativity, so only
   small sorts are allowed (Prop, Set).
 - if [decl] is Prop, only logical sorts are allowed: I has either
   large universes inside it or more than 1 constructor.
   This does not treat the case where only a Set appeared in I which
   was previously accepted it seems.

All the standard library works with these changes. Still have to cleanup
kernel/indtypes.ml. It is a good time to have a whiskey with OJ.

Thanks to Peter Lumsdaine for bug reporting:
- fix externalisation of universe instances (still appearing when no Printing Universes)
- add [convert] and [convert_leq] tactics that keep track of evars and universe constraints.
- use them in [exact_check].

Fix odd behavior in inductive type declarations allowing to silently lower a Type i parameter
to Set for squashing a naturally Type i inductive to Set. Reinstate the LargeNonPropInductiveNotInType
exception.

Fix the is_small function not dealing properly with aliases of Prop/Set in Type.

Add check_leq in Evd and use it to decide if we're trying to squash an
inductive naturally in some Type to Set.

- Fix handling of universe polymorphism in typeclasses Class/Instance declarations.
- Don't allow lowering a rigid Type universe to Set silently.

- Move Ring/Field back to Type. It was silently putting R in Set due to the definition of ring_morph.
- Rework inference of universe levels for inductive definitions.
- Make fold_left/right polymorphic on both levels A and B (the list's type). They don't have to be
at the same level.

Handle selective Polymorphic/Monomorphic flag right for records.

Remove leftover command

Fix after update with latest trunk.

Backport patches on HoTT/coq to rebased version of universe polymorphism.

- Fix autorewrite wrong handling of universe-polymorphic rewrite rules. Fixes part of issue #7.
- Fix the [eq_constr_univs] and add an [leq_constr_univs] to avoid eager equation of universe
 levels that could just be inequal. Use it during kernel conversion. Fixes issue #6.
- Fix a bug in unification that was failing too early if a choice in unification of universes
 raised an inconsistency.
- While normalizing universes, remove Prop in the le part of Max expressions.
- Stop rigidifying the universes on the right hand side of a : in definitions.
- Now Hints can be declared polymorphic or not. In the first case they
 must be "refreshed" (undefined universes are renamed) at each application.
- Have to refresh the set of universe variables associated to a hint
 when it can be used multiple times in a single proof to avoid fixing
 a level... A better & less expensive solution should exist.
- Do not include the levels of let-ins as part of records levels.
- Fix a NotConvertible uncaught exception to raise a more informative
 error message.
- Better substitution of algebraics in algebraics (for universe variables that
 can be algebraics).
- Fix issue #2, Context was not properly normalizing the universe context.
- Fix issue with typeclasses that were not catching UniverseInconsistencies
  raised by unification, resulting in early failure of proof-search.
- Let the result type of definitional classes be an algebraic.
- Adapt coercions to universe polymorphic flag (Identity Coercion etc..)
- Move away a dangerous call in autoinstance that added constraints for every
polymorphic definitions once in the environment for no use.

Forgot one part of the last patch on coercions.

- Adapt auto/eauto to polymorphic hints as well.
- Factor out the function to refresh a clenv w.r.t. undefined universes.

Use leq_univ_poly in evarconv to avoid fixing universes.

Disallow polymorphic hints based on a constr as it is not possible to infer their universe
context. Only global references can be made polymorphic. Fixes issue #8.

Fix SearchAbout bug (issue #10).

Fix program w.r.t. universes: the universe context of a definition changes
according to the successive refinements due to typechecking obligations.
This requires the Proof modules to return the generated universe substitution
when finishing a proof, and this information is passed in the closing hook.
The interface is not very clean, will certainly change in the future.

- Better treatment of polymorphic hints in auto: terms can be polymorphic now, we refresh their
context as well.
- Needs a little change in test-pattern that seems breaks multiary uses of destruct in NZDiv.v, l495.
FIX to do.

Fix [make_pattern_test] to keep the universe information around and still
allow tactics to take multiple patterns at once.

- Fix printing of universe instances that should not be factorized blindly
- Fix handling of the universe context in program definitions by allowing the
hook at the end of an interactive proof to give back the refined universe context,
before it is transformed in the kernel.
- Fix a bug in evarconv where solve_evar_evar was not checking types of instances,
resulting in a loss of constraints in unification of universes and a growing number
of useless parametric universes.

- Move from universe_level_subst to universe_subst everywhere.

- Changed representation of universes for a canonical one
- Adapt the code so that universe variables might be substituted by
arbitrary universes (including algebraics). Not used yet except for
polymorphic universe variables instances.

- Adapt code to new constraint structure.
- Fix setoid rewrite handling of evars that was forgetting the initial
universe substitution !
- Fix code that was just testing conversion instead of keeping the
resulting universe constraints around in the proof engine.
- Make a version of reduction/fconv that deals with the more general
set of universe constraints.

- [auto using] should use polymorphic versions of the constants.
- When starting a proof, don't forget about the algebraic universes in
the universe context.

Rationalize substitution and normalization functions for universes.
Also change back the structure of universes to avoid considering levels
n+k as pure levels: they are universe expressions like max.
Everything is factored out in the Universes and Univ modules now and
the normalization functions can be efficient in the sense that they
can cache the normalized universes incrementally.

- Adapt normalize_context code to new normalization/substitution functions.
- Set more things to be polymorphic, e.g. in Ring or SetoidList for the rest
of the code to work properly while the constraint generation code is not adapted.
And temporarily extend the universe constraint code in univ to solve max(is) = max(js)
by first-order unification (these constraints should actually be implied not enforced).
- Fix romega plugin to use the right universes for polymorphic lists.
- Fix auto not refreshing the poly hints correctly.

- Proper postponing of universe constraints during unification, avoid making
arbitrary choices.
- Fix nf_evars_and* to keep the substitution around for later normalizations.
- Do add simplified universe constraints coming from unification during typechecking.
- Fix solve_by_tac in obligations to handle universes right, and the corresponding
substitution function.

Test global universe equality early during simplication of constraints.

Better hashconsing, but still not good on universe lists.

- Add postponing of "lub" constraints that should not be checked early,
they are implied by the others.
- Fix constructor tactic to use a fresh constructor instance avoiding
fixing universes.
- Use [eq_constr_universes] instead of [eq_constr_univs] everywhere,
this is the comparison function that doesn't care about the universe
instances.
- Almost all the library compiles in this new setting, but some more tactics
need to be adapted.

- Reinstate hconsing.
- Keep Prop <= u constraints that can be used to set the level of a universe
metavariable.

Add better hashconsing and unionfind in normalisation of constraints.
Fix a few problems in choose_canonical, normalization and substitution functions.

Fix after merge

Fixes after rebase with latest Coq trunk, everything compiles again,
albeit slowly in some cases.
- Fix module substitution and comparison of table keys in conversion
using the wrong order (should always be UserOrd now)
- Cleanup in universes, removing commented code.
- Fix normalization of universe context which was assigning global
levels to local ones. Should always be the other way!
- Fix universe implementation to implement sorted cons of universes
preserving order. Makes Univ.sup correct again, keeping universe in
normalized form.
- In evarconv.ml, allow again a Fix to appear as head of a weak-head normal
form (due to partially applied fixpoints).
- Catch anomalies of conversion as errors in reductionops.ml, sad but
necessary as eta-expansion might build ill-typed stacks like FProd,
[shift;app Rel 1], as it expands not only if the other side is rigid.
- Fix module substitution bug in auto.ml

- Fix case compilation: impossible cases compilation was generating useless universe
levels. Use an IDProp constant instead of the polymorphic identity to not influence
the level of the original type when building the case construct for the return type.
- Simplify normalization of universe constraints.
- Compute constructor levels of records correctly.

Fall back to levels for universe instances, avoiding issues of unification.
Add more to the test-suite for universe polymorphism.

Fix after rebase with trunk

Fix substitution of universes inside fields/params of records to be made
after all normalization is done and the level of the record has been
computed.

Proper sharing of lower bounds with fixed universes.

Subject: [PATCH 415/440] Rework definitions in RelationClasses and Morphisms
 to share universe levels as much as possible. This factorizes many useless x
 <= RelationClasses.foo constraints in code that uses setoid rewriting. Slight
 incompatible change in the implicits for Reflexivity and Irreflexivity as
 well.

Subject: [PATCH 416/440] - Share even more universes in Morphisms using a let.
 - Use splay_prod instead of splay_prod_assum which doesn't reduce let's to
 find a relation in setoid_rewrite - Fix [Declare Instance] not properly
 dealing with let's in typeclass contexts.

Subject: [PATCH 423/440] This commit adds full universe polymorphism to Coq.

Add [Polymorphic] and [Monomorphic] local flag for definitions as well as
[Set Universe Polymorphism] global flag to make all following definitions
polymorphic. Mainly syntax for now.

First part of the big changes to the kernel:
- Const, Ind, Construct now come with a universe level instance
- It is used for type inference in the kernel, which now also takes
a graph as input: actually a set of local universe variables and their
constraints. Type inference just checks that the constraints are enough
to satisfy its own rules.
- Remove polymorphic_arity and _knowing_parameters everywhere: we
don't need full applications for polymorphism to apply anymore, as
we generate fresh variables at each constant/inductive/constructor
application. However knowing_parameters variants might be reinstated
later for optimization.
- New structures exported in univ.mli:
  - universe_list for universe level instances
  - universe_context(_set) for the local universe constraints, also
recording which variables will be local and hence generalized after
inference if defining a polymorphic ind/constant.
- this patch makes coq stop compiling at indtypes.ml

Adapt kernel, library, pretyping, tactics and toplevel to universe polymorphism.
Various degrees of integration, places where I was not sure what to do or
just postponed bigger reorganizations of the code are marked with FIXMEs.
Main changes:
- Kernel now checks constraints and does not infer them anymore.
- The inference functions produce a context of constraints that were checked
during inference, useful to do double-checking of the univ. poly. code
but might be removed later.
- Constant, Inductive entries now have a universe context (local variables
and constraints) associated to them.
- Printing, debugging functions for the new structures are also implemented.
- Now stopping at Logic.v
- Lots of new code in kernel/univ.ml that should be reviewed.
- kernel/indtypes probably does not do what's right when inferring inductive
type constraints.
- Adapted evd to use the new universe context structure.
- Did not deal with unification/evar_conv.

- Add externalisation code for universe level instances.
- Support for polymorphism in pretyping/command and proofs/proofview etc.
  Needed wrapping of [fresh_.._instance] through the evar_map, which
  contains the local state of universes during type-checking.
- Correct the inductive scheme generation to support polymorphism as well.
- Have to review kernel code for correctness, and especially rework the
  computation of universe constraints for inductives.
Stops somewhat later in Logic.v

- Fix naming of local/toplevel universes to be correctly done at typechecking time:
  local variables have no dirpath.
- Add code to do substitution of universes in modules, not finished yet.
- Move fresh_* functions out of kernel, it won't ever build a universe level again!
- Adapt a lot of new_Type to use the correct dirpath and declare the new types in the evar_map
so we keep track of them.
- A bit of code factorization (evd_comb moved, pretype_global).

- Refactor more code
- Adapt plugins code (sometimes wrong, marked with FIXME)
- Fix cases generating unneeded universe (not sure it's ok though)
- Fix scheme generation for good, might have opportunity to cleanup
the terms later.

Init compiles now (which means rewrite, inversion, elim etc.. work as well).
- Unsolved issue of pretyping to lower sorts properly (to Prop for example).
  This has to do with the (Retyping.get_type_of) giving algebraic universes that
  would appear on the right of constraints.
  This makes checking for dangling universes at the end of pretyping fail,
  hence the check in kernel/univ was removed. It should come back when we have
  a fix for this.
- Correctly (?) compute the levels of inductive types.
  Removed old code pertaining to universe polymorphism. Note that we generate
  constraint variables for the conclusion of inductive types invariably.
- Shrink constraints before going to the kernel, combine substitution of the
  smaller universe set with normalization of evars (maybe not done everywhere,
  only ordinary inductives, definitions and proofs)
- More API reworks overall. tclPUSHCONTEXT can be used to add fresh universes
  to the proof goal (used in a few places to get the right instance.
- Quick fix for auto that won't work in the long run. It should always have been
  restricted to take constant references as input, without any loss of generality
  over constrs.

Fix some plugins and insertion of non-polymorphic constants in a module.
Now stops in relation classes.

Cleanup and move code from kernel to library and from pretyping to library too.
Now there is a unique universe counter declared in library/universes.ml along
with all the functions to generate new universes and get fresh constant/inductive
terms.
- Various function renamings
- One important change in kernel/univ.ml: now [sup] can be applied to Prop.
- Adapt records/classes to universe polymorphism
- Now stops in EqDepFacts due to imprecise universe polymorphism.

Forgot to git add those files.

interp_constr returns the universe context

The context is then pushed through the environment (or proof goal
sigma).
- Fix insertion of constants/inductives in env, pushing constraints to
the global env for non-polymorphic ones.
- Add Prop as a universe level to do proper type inference with sorts.
It is allowed to take [sup] of [Prop] now.
- New nf_evar based on new Evd.map(_undefined)
- In proofs/logic.ml: conv_leq_goal might create some constraints that
are now recorded.
- Adapt Program code to universes.

Merge with latest trunk + fixes

-Use new constr_of_global from universes
- fix eqschemes to use polymorphic universes
- begin fixing cctac but f_equal still fails
- fix [simpl] and rest of tacred
- all the eq_constr with mkConst foo should be fixed as well, only
partially done

- Fix term hashing function to recognize equal terms up to universe instances.
- Fix congruence closure to equate terms that differ only in universe instances,
these will be resolved by constraints.

Add a set of undefined universe variables to unification.
Universe variables can now be declared rigid or flexible (unifiable).
Flexible variables are resolved at the end of typechecking by instantiating
them to their glb, adding upper bound constraints associated to them.
Also:
- Add polymorphic flag for inductives.
- Fix cooking partially
- Fix kernel/univ.ml to do normalization of universe expressions at
the end of substitution.

Correct classes/structures universe inference

- Required a bit of extension in Univ to handle Max properly (sup u
(u+1)) was returning (max(u,u+1)) for example.
- Try a version where substitution of universe expressions for universe
levels is allowed at the end of unification. By an invariant this
should only instantiate with max() types that are morally "on the
right" only.
This is controlled using a rigidity attribute of universe variables,
also allowing to properly do unification w.r.t. universes during
typechecking/inference.
- Currently fails in Vectors/Fin.v because case compilation generates
"flexible" universes that actually appear in the term...

Fix unification of universe variables.

- Fix choice of canonical universe in presence of universe constraints,
and do so by relying on a trichotomy for universe variables: rigid
(won't be substituted), flexible (might be if not substituted by an
algebraic) and flexible_alg (always substituted).
- Fix romega code and a few more plugins, most of the standard library
goes through now.
- Had to define some inductives as Polymorphic explicitly to make
proofs go through, more to come, and definitions should be polymorphic
too, otherwise inconsistencies appear quickly (two uses of the same
polymorphic ind through monomorphic functions (like nth on lists of
Props and nats) will fix the monomorphic function's universe with eq
constraints that are incompatible).
- Correct universe polymorphism handling for fixpoint/cofixpoint
definitions.

- Fix romega to use the right universes for list constructors.
- Fix internalization/externalization to deal properly with the
implicit parsing of params.
- Fix fourier tactic w.r.t. GRefs

- Fix substitution saturation of universes.
- Fix number syntax plugin.
- Fix setoid_ring to take its coefficients in a Set rather
than a Type, avoiding a large number of useless universe constraints.

- Fix minor checker decl
- Fix btauto w.r.t. GRef
- Fix proofview to normalize universes in the original types as well.
- Fix definitions of projections to not take two universes at the same level,
but at different levels instead, avoiding unnecessary constraints that could
lower the level of one component depending on the use of the other component.

Fix simpl fst, snd to use @fst @snd as they have maximal implicits now.

- More simpl snd, fst fixes.
- Try to make the nth theory of lists polymorphic.

Check with Enrico if this change is ok. Case appearing in RingMicromega's call
to congruence l417, through a call to refine -> the_conv_x_leq.

Compile everything.
- "Fix" checker by deactivating code related to polymorphism, should
be updated.
- Make most of List.v polymorphic to help with following definitions.
- When starting a lemma, normalize w.r.t. universes, so that the types
get a fixed universe, not refinable later.
- In record, don't assign a fully flexible universe variable to the record
type if it is a definitional typeclass, as translate_constant doesn't expect
an algebraic universe in the type of a constant. It certainly should though.
- Fix micromega code.

Fix after rebase.

Update printing functions to print the polymorphic status of definitions
and their universe context.

Refine printing of universe contexts

- Fix printer for universe constraints
- Rework normalization of constraints to separate the Union-Find result
  from computation of lubs/glbs.

Keep universe contexts of inductives/constants in entries for correct
substitution inside modules. Abstract interface to get an instantiation
of an inductive with its universe substitution in the kernel (no
substitution if the inductive is not polymorphic, even if mind_universes
is non-empty).

Make fst and snd polymorphic, fix instances in RelationPairs to use
different universes for the two elements of a pair.

- Fix bug in nf_constraints: was removing Set <= constraints, but should
remove Prop <= constraints only.
- Make proj1_sig, projT1... polymorphic to avoid weird universe unifications,
giving rise to universe inconsistenties.

Adapt auto hints to polymorphic references.

Really produce polymorphic hints... second try

- Remove algebraic universes that can't appear in the goal when taking the
  type of a lemma to start.

Proper handling of universe contexts in clenv and auto so that
polymorphic hints are really refreshed at each application.

Fix erroneous shadowing of sigma variable.

- Make apparent the universe context used in pretyping, including information
about flexibility of universe variables.
- Fix induction to generate a fresh constant instance with flexible universe variables.

Add function to do conversion w.r.t. an evar map and its local universes.

- Fix define_evar_as_sort to not forget constraints coming from the refinement.
- Do not nf_constraints while we don't have the whole term at hand to substitute in.

- Move substitution of full universes to Universes
- Normalize universes inside an evar_map when doing nf_evar_map_universes.
- Normalize universes at each call to interp_ltac (potentially expensive)

Do not normalize all evars at each call to interp_gen in tactics: rather
incrementally normalize the terms at hand, supposing the normalization of universes
will concern only those appearing in it (dangerous but much more efficient).

Do not needlessly generate new universes constraints for projections of records.

Correct polymorphic discharge of section variables.

Fix autorewrite w.r.t. universes: polymorphic rewrite hints get fresh universe
instances at each application.

Fix r2l rewrite scheme to support universe polymorphism

Fix a bug in l2r_forward scheme and fix congruence scheme to handle polymorphism correctly.

Second try at fixing autorewrite, cannot do without pushing the constraints and the set of fresh
universe variables into the proof context.

- tclPUSHCONTEXT allow to set the ctx universe variables as flexible or rigid
- Fix bug in elimschemes, not taking the right sigma

Wrong sigma used in leibniz_rewrite

Avoid recomputation of bounds for equal universes in normalization of constraints,
only the canonical one need to be computed.

Make coercions work with universe polymorphic projections.

Fix eronneous bound in universes constraint solving.

Make kernel reduction and term comparison strictly aware of universe instances,
with variants for relaxed comparison that output constraints.
Otherwise some constraints that should appear during pretyping don't and we generate
unnecessary constraints/universe variables.
Have to adapt a few tactics to this new behavior by making them universe aware.

- Fix elimschemes to minimize universe variables
- Fix coercions to not forget the universe constraints generated by an application
- Change universe substitutions to maps instead of assoc lists.
- Fix absurd tactic to handle univs properly
- Make length and app polymorphic in List, unification sets their levels otherwise.

Move to modules for namespace management instead of long names in universe code.

More putting things into modules.

Change evar_map structure to support an incremental substitution of universes
(populated from Eq constraints), allowing safe and fast inference of precise levels,
without computing lubs.
- Add many printers and reorganize code
- Extend nf_evar to normalize universe variables according to the substitution.
- Fix ChoiceFacts.v in Logic, no universe inconsistencies anymore. But Diaconescu
still has one (something fixes a universe to Set).
- Adapt omega, functional induction to the changes.

Fix congruence, eq_constr implem, discharge of polymorphic inductives.

Fix merge in auto.

The [-parameters-matter] option (formerly relevant_equality).

Add -parameters-matter to coqc

Do compute the param levels at elaboration time if parameters_matter.

- Fix generalize tactic
- add ppuniverse_subst
- Start fixing normalize_universe_context w.r.t. normalize_univ_variables.

- Fix HUGE bug in Ltac interpretation not folding the sigma correctly if interpreting a tactic application
to multiple arguments.
- Fix bug in union of universe substitution.

- rename parameters-matter to indices-matter
- Fix computation of levels from indices not parameters.

- Fixing parsing so that [Polymorphic] can be applied to gallina extensions.
- When elaborating definitions, make the universes from the type rigid when
checking the term: they should stay abstracted.
- Fix typeclasses eauto's handling of universes for exact hints.

Rework all the code for infering the levels of inductives and checking their
allowed eliminations sorts.

This is based on the computation of a natural level for an inductive type I.
The natural level [nat] of [I : args -> sort := c1 : A1 -> I t1 .. cn : An -> I tn] is
computed by taking the max of the levels of the args (if indices matter) and the
levels of the constructor arguments.
The declared level [decl] of I is [sort], which might be Prop, Set or some Type u (u fresh
or not).
If [decl >= nat && not (decl = Prop && n >= 2)], the level of the inductive is [decl],
otherwise, _smashing_ occured.
If [decl] is impredicative (Prop or Set when Set is impredicative), we accept the
declared level, otherwise it's an error.

To compute the allowed elimination sorts, we have the following situations:
- No smashing occured: all sorts are allowed. (Recall props that are not
smashed are Empty/Unitary props)
- Some smashing occured:
 - if [decl] is Type, we allow all eliminations (above or below [decl],
   not sure why this is justified in general).
 - if [decl] is Set, we used smashing for impredicativity, so only
   small sorts are allowed (Prop, Set).
 - if [decl] is Prop, only logical sorts are allowed: I has either
   large universes inside it or more than 1 constructor.
   This does not treat the case where only a Set appeared in I which
   was previously accepted it seems.

All the standard library works with these changes. Still have to cleanup
kernel/indtypes.ml. It is a good time to have a whiskey with OJ.

Thanks to Peter Lumsdaine for bug reporting:
- fix externalisation of universe instances (still appearing when no Printing Universes)
- add [convert] and [convert_leq] tactics that keep track of evars and universe constraints.
- use them in [exact_check].

Fix odd behavior in inductive type declarations allowing to silently lower a Type i parameter
to Set for squashing a naturally Type i inductive to Set. Reinstate the LargeNonPropInductiveNotInType
exception.

Fix the is_small function not dealing properly with aliases of Prop/Set in Type.

Add check_leq in Evd and use it to decide if we're trying to squash an
inductive naturally in some Type to Set.

- Fix handling of universe polymorphism in typeclasses Class/Instance declarations.
- Don't allow lowering a rigid Type universe to Set silently.

- Move Ring/Field back to Type. It was silently putting R in Set due to the definition of ring_morph.
- Rework inference of universe levels for inductive definitions.
- Make fold_left/right polymorphic on both levels A and B (the list's type). They don't have to be
at the same level.

Handle selective Polymorphic/Monomorphic flag right for records.

Remove leftover command

Fix after update with latest trunk.

Backport patches on HoTT/coq to rebased version of universe polymorphism.

- Fix autorewrite wrong handling of universe-polymorphic rewrite rules. Fixes part of issue #7.
- Fix the [eq_constr_univs] and add an [leq_constr_univs] to avoid eager equation of universe
 levels that could just be inequal. Use it during kernel conversion. Fixes issue #6.
- Fix a bug in unification that was failing too early if a choice in unification of universes
 raised an inconsistency.
- While normalizing universes, remove Prop in the le part of Max expressions.
- Stop rigidifying the universes on the right hand side of a : in definitions.
- Now Hints can be declared polymorphic or not. In the first case they
 must be "refreshed" (undefined universes are renamed) at each application.
- Have to refresh the set of universe variables associated to a hint
 when it can be used multiple times in a single proof to avoid fixing
 a level... A better & less expensive solution should exist.
- Do not include the levels of let-ins as part of records levels.
- Fix a NotConvertible uncaught exception to raise a more informative
 error message.
- Better substitution of algebraics in algebraics (for universe variables that
 can be algebraics).
- Fix issue #2, Context was not properly normalizing the universe context.
- Fix issue with typeclasses that were not catching UniverseInconsistencies
  raised by unification, resulting in early failure of proof-search.
- Let the result type of definitional classes be an algebraic.
- Adapt coercions to universe polymorphic flag (Identity Coercion etc..)
- Move away a dangerous call in autoinstance that added constraints for every
polymorphic definitions once in the environment for no use.

Forgot one part of the last patch on coercions.

- Adapt auto/eauto to polymorphic hints as well.
- Factor out the function to refresh a clenv w.r.t. undefined universes.

Use leq_univ_poly in evarconv to avoid fixing universes.

Disallow polymorphic hints based on a constr as it is not possible to infer their universe
context. Only global references can be made polymorphic. Fixes issue #8.

Fix SearchAbout bug (issue #10).

Fix program w.r.t. universes: the universe context of a definition changes
according to the successive refinements due to typechecking obligations.
This requires the Proof modules to return the generated universe substitution
when finishing a proof, and this information is passed in the closing hook.
The interface is not very clean, will certainly change in the future.

- Better treatment of polymorphic hints in auto: terms can be polymorphic now, we refresh their
context as well.
- Needs a little change in test-pattern that seems breaks multiary uses of destruct in NZDiv.v, l495.
FIX to do.

Fix [make_pattern_test] to keep the universe information around and still
allow tactics to take multiple patterns at once.

- Fix printing of universe instances that should not be factorized blindly
- Fix handling of the universe context in program definitions by allowing the
hook at the end of an interactive proof to give back the refined universe context,
before it is transformed in the kernel.
- Fix a bug in evarconv where solve_evar_evar was not checking types of instances,
resulting in a loss of constraints in unification of universes and a growing number
of useless parametric universes.

- Move from universe_level_subst to universe_subst everywhere.

- Changed representation of universes for a canonical one
- Adapt the code so that universe variables might be substituted by
arbitrary universes (including algebraics). Not used yet except for
polymorphic universe variables instances.

- Adapt code to new constraint structure.
- Fix setoid rewrite handling of evars that was forgetting the initial
universe substitution !
- Fix code that was just testing conversion instead of keeping the
resulting universe constraints around in the proof engine.
- Make a version of reduction/fconv that deals with the more general
set of universe constraints.

- [auto using] should use polymorphic versions of the constants.
- When starting a proof, don't forget about the algebraic universes in
the universe context.

Rationalize substitution and normalization functions for universes.
Also change back the structure of universes to avoid considering levels
n+k as pure levels: they are universe expressions like max.
Everything is factored out in the Universes and Univ modules now and
the normalization functions can be efficient in the sense that they
can cache the normalized universes incrementally.

- Adapt normalize_context code to new normalization/substitution functions.
- Set more things to be polymorphic, e.g. in Ring or SetoidList for the rest
of the code to work properly while the constraint generation code is not adapted.
And temporarily extend the universe constraint code in univ to solve max(is) = max(js)
by first-order unification (these constraints should actually be implied not enforced).
- Fix romega plugin to use the right universes for polymorphic lists.
- Fix auto not refreshing the poly hints correctly.

- Proper postponing of universe constraints during unification, avoid making
arbitrary choices.
- Fix nf_evars_and* to keep the substitution around for later normalizations.
- Do add simplified universe constraints coming from unification during typechecking.
- Fix solve_by_tac in obligations to handle universes right, and the corresponding
substitution function.

Test global universe equality early during simplication of constraints.

Better hashconsing, but still not good on universe lists.

- Add postponing of "lub" constraints that should not be checked early,
they are implied by the others.
- Fix constructor tactic to use a fresh constructor instance avoiding
fixing universes.
- Use [eq_constr_universes] instead of [eq_constr_univs] everywhere,
this is the comparison function that doesn't care about the universe
instances.
- Almost all the library compiles in this new setting, but some more tactics
need to be adapted.

- Reinstate hconsing.
- Keep Prop <= u constraints that can be used to set the level of a universe
metavariable.

Add better hashconsing and unionfind in normalisation of constraints.
Fix a few problems in choose_canonical, normalization and substitution functions.

Fix after merge

Fixes after rebase with latest Coq trunk, everything compiles again,
albeit slowly in some cases.
- Fix module substitution and comparison of table keys in conversion
using the wrong order (should always be UserOrd now)
- Cleanup in universes, removing commented code.
- Fix normalization of universe context which was assigning global
levels to local ones. Should always be the other way!
- Fix universe implementation to implement sorted cons of universes
preserving order. Makes Univ.sup correct again, keeping universe in
normalized form.
- In evarconv.ml, allow again a Fix to appear as head of a weak-head normal
form (due to partially applied fixpoints).
- Catch anomalies of conversion as errors in reductionops.ml, sad but
necessary as eta-expansion might build ill-typed stacks like FProd,
[shift;app Rel 1], as it expands not only if the other side is rigid.
- Fix module substitution bug in auto.ml

- Fix case compilation: impossible cases compilation was generating useless universe
levels. Use an IDProp constant instead of the polymorphic identity to not influence
the level of the original type when building the case construct for the return type.
- Simplify normalization of universe constraints.
- Compute constructor levels of records correctly.

Fall back to levels for universe instances, avoiding issues of unification.
Add more to the test-suite for universe polymorphism.

Fix after rebase with trunk

Fix substitution of universes inside fields/params of records to be made
after all normalization is done and the level of the record has been
computed.

Proper sharing of lower bounds with fixed universes.

Conflicts:
	library/universes.ml
	library/universes.mli

Constraints were not enforced in compilation of cases

Fix after rebase with trunk

- Canonical projections up to universes
- Fix computation of class/record universe levels to allow
squashing to Prop/Set in impredicative set mode.

- Fix descend_in_conjunctions to properly instantiate projections with universes
- Avoid Context-bound variables taking extra universes in their associated universe context.

- Fix evar_define using the wrong direction when refreshing a universe under cumulativity
- Do not instantiate a local universe with some lower bound to a global one just because
they have the same local glb (they might not have the same one globally).

- Was loosing some global constraints during normalization (brought again by the kernel), fixed now.
- Proper [abstract] with polymorphic lemmas (polymorphic if the current proof is).
- Fix silly bug in autorewrite: any hint after the first one was always monomorphic.

- Fix fourier after rebase
- Refresh universes when checking types of metas in unification (avoid (sup (sup univ))).
- Speedup a script in FSetPositive.v

Rework definitions in RelationClasses and Morphisms to share universe
levels as much as possible. This factorizes many useless x <=
RelationClasses.foo constraints in code that uses setoid rewriting.
Slight incompatible change in the implicits for Reflexivity and
Irreflexivity as well.

- Share even more universes in Morphisms using a let.
- Use splay_prod instead of splay_prod_assum which doesn't reduce let's
to find a relation in setoid_rewrite
- Fix [Declare Instance] not properly dealing with let's in typeclass contexts.

Fixes in inductiveops, evarutil.

Patch by Yves Bertot to allow naming universes in inductive definitions.

Fixes in tacinterp not propagating evars correctly.

Fix for issue #27: lowering a Type to Prop is allowed during
inference (resulting in a Type (* Set *)) but kernel reduction
was wrongly refusing the equation [Type (*Set*) = Set].

Subject: [PATCH 432/440] Make JMeq universe polymorphic.

This fixes #33.  This does not significantly change the time it takes to
compile coq; I have:
Before:
real    63m35.413s
user    52m31.897s
sys     10m12.110s
After:
real    63m30.077s
user    52m37.605s
sys     10m15.182s

Because of this, I don't think it hurts to make the entire file universe
polymorphic.

Subject: [PATCH 434/440] - Use oracle transparent state everywhere during
 unification, properly honoring the [Opaque] flag. - In btauto/Algebra, this
 breaks a script relying on unfolding of decide during apply, where decide was
 declared opaque. Same in QArith/Qcanon with Qed.
