Topic: how to document `partial` restriction?


Arthur Paulino (Mar 24 2022 at 20:46):

Leo explained to me that partial cannot be used on functions whose return type might be empty. I tried to PR an explanation with the examples that he showed me but a test is capturing the fact that I (intentionally) introduced code that doesn't compile.

This is the PR

My question is: how to explain it without showing code that doesn't compile?

Sebastian Ullrich (Mar 24 2022 at 20:49):

You can use

```lean,ignore

code blocks for that
