Topic: Extending a structure in a field-dependent manner
Thomas Murrills (Jul 09 2023 at 08:33):
I'd like to be able to write things along the lines of
axiom F : Bool → Type -- some type family, demonstration purposes only
structure Foo (b : Bool) where -- some structure parametrized by data
a : F b
structure Bar where
b : Bool
extends Foo b
This doesn't work, and we (seem to) have to resort to
structure Bar where
b : Bool
toFoo : Foo b
However, I'm specifically after the ability to write structure instances nicely (in a flat manner) that you get with extends
, as opposed to simply having something that typechecks/functions well. Is there a nice way to achieve this?
