Topic: by exactI
Floris van Doorn (Feb 06 2021 at 07:18):
I like that we have some notation for by exactI
, but can we change it from a zero-width space to something more reasonable? We could use an English word that hasn't much meaning by itself, like now
, so
, thus
? (though none of these quite sound right in the places we want)

If you can think of a fitting english word that is more reasonable than by exactI
, I'm all for it.
Johan Commelin (Feb 06 2021 at 07:21):
Also, I think it's fine to just write by exactI
almost everywhere.
I just wanted to avoid in the main statements, because there it's very distracting for outsiders that are reading their first lean code.

after the ,
of an \exists
we could write such_that
... but that doesn't fit very well after the ,
of \forall
.
Of course we could have two new symbols.

You could also write it such that you don't need by exactI
...
