Topic: A dependent `forall_const`?
Jovan Gerbscheid (Mar 22 2025 at 20:34):
I ran into the issue that the simp
lemma
theorem forall_const (α : Sort _) [i : Nonempty α] : (α → b) ↔ b
is non-dependent, so it didn't apply to my dependent forall. Should the definition be changed to be about an actual forall?

How can it be both dependent and constant?
Jovan Gerbscheid (Mar 22 2025 at 20:40):
Ah sorry, in my case the α
was equal to True
.
Aaron Liu (Mar 22 2025 at 20:40):
So like docs#forall_true_left

Ah, thank you, I didn't have mathlib imported and thought this sort of thing would be in core lean

There might be a version for Inhabited
where the RHS is b default
