Topic: how can i name a type Type?


JJ (Oct 12 2025 at 20:31):

I would like to name a type Type. Is there a way to trick the Lean namespaces into letting me do so?

Robin Arnez (Oct 12 2025 at 20:34):

You can name a type «Type» which is as close as it gets

Hmm, okay, bummer! I had thought there was some way to do this.

I'll either do that then or just call it Kind, I guess...
