Topic: Does `squeeze_dsimp` ever not return `dsimp only`?
Kevin Buzzard (Mar 10 2023 at 20:26):
A trick I learnt relatively recently was that if I wanted to know what dsimp
was doing, then squeeze_dsimp
was not the way to find out; in fact one should just do set_option trace.dsimplify true
, search the output for ==>
and then try and manually figure out the name of the lemmas which were being applied. Is there any way of making squeeze_dsimp
not return Try this: dsimp only
? Should this tactic simply be removed, if not?

It works correctly in lean 4

It is unlikely this will be fixed in lean 3, dsimp?
has a better chance of working than squeeze_dsimp
