Topic: do we have `fillImplicitArgumentsWithFreshMVars`?
Scott Morrison (Jan 11 2023 at 02:42):
I found myself wanting:
partial def fillImplicitArgumentsWithFreshMVars (e : Expr) : MetaM Expr := do
match ← inferType e with
| Expr.forallE _ _ _ .implicit => do
fillImplicitArgumentsWithFreshMVars (mkApp e (← mkFreshExprMVar none))
| _ => pure e
but I feel like it must exist somewhere already, or have a better implementation.
Any suggestions?

I'm not aware of an existing function that does this, but it seems useful. I would implement it with forallTelescope
(or one of its variants, if you want to discover implicit arguments up to computation).
