Topic: Notation for Option?
Paul Chisholm (Oct 20 2021 at 22:47):
When using Lean as a programming language the Option
type will be used quite extensively and can contribute to large type expressions. Could consideration be given to introducing standard abbreviated notation for Option
. As a test I added
notation "⟦" a "⟧" => Option a
and found the resulting code to be cleaner with less syntactic baggage. (Note: not proposing this as a notation, just to demonstrate.)
