Topic: autogenerated instance names
Johan Commelin (May 03 2021 at 14:14):
Some names seem suboptimal: docs#algebra.tensor_product.tensor_product.algebra
Eric Wieser (May 03 2021 at 14:27):
To be fair the instance is declared in the algebra.tensor_product
namespace to begin with
Eric Wieser (May 03 2021 at 14:29):
So the outlook of an acceptable name is already somewhat bleak to begin with.
Johan Commelin (May 03 2021 at 14:30):
Hmm, I thought that the autogenerated names were placed in the root namespace... I guess I'm wrong (-;
Eric Wieser (May 03 2021 at 14:34):
I think it matches the autogenerated name against the current namespace and eliminates a common prefix, which prevents things like nat.nat.ring

Another funny one: docs#ideal.mv_polynomial.mv_polynomial.ideal.is_jacobson
FR (Aug 31 2022 at 13:32):
Yet another: docs#polynomial.is_splitting_field.polynomial.splitting_field.finite_dimensional
