Topic: Prop-valued encodable
Yury G. Kudryashov (Oct 25 2021 at 21:43):
I think that we need a Prop-valued version of docs#encodable. The main reason for me is that we'll be able to have an instance from [fintype α] to [prop_encodable α] (of course, we need a better name).

And most lemmas about countable unions etc should take this new class as an argument.

is_countable?
Yury G. Kudryashov (Oct 25 2021 at 21:44):
Or countable with set.countable made protected.
Yury G. Kudryashov (Oct 25 2021 at 21:45):
(we have this for set.subsingleton and set.nonempty)
Eric Wieser (Oct 25 2021 at 22:00):
Could we rename encodable to has_encoding to free up the first name?
Eric Wieser (Oct 25 2021 at 22:00):
I guess countable is better to mathematicians anyway
