Topic: Is `until` reserved?
Mrigank Pawagi (Mar 07 2025 at 11:24):
until
seems to be some sort of a reserved word in lean 4, but I am unable to find it in the documentation. I am just curious because I did something like the following
def until := 1
but got unexpected token 'until'; expected identifier
.

docs#Lean.doElemRepeat__Until_

Thanks! This line in the code makes it clear:
syntax "repeat " doSeq ppDedent(ppLine) "until " term : doElem
I have used repeat
but not repeat ... until
.

In case it is helpful for some other time, you could also have found out about this as follows:
import Mathlib.Tactic.FindSyntax
/--
info: Found 1 use among 579 syntax declarations
In `Init.While`:
Lean.doElemRepeat__Until_: 'repeat _ until'
-/
#guard_msgs in
#find_syntax "until"

I just did a @loogle "until"

Thanks so much for the tips, @Damiano Testa and @Aaron Liu. I am new to Lean and this seems very useful!
