In Mathlib4 Algebra.Group.Defs we have
/-- Auxiliary typeclass for types with an involutive `Neg`. -/
class HasInvolutiveNeg (A : Type _) extends Neg A where
neg_neg : ∀ x : A, - -x = x
/-- Auxiliary typeclass for types with an involutive `Inv`. -/
@[to_additive]
class HasInvolutiveInv (G : Type _) extends Inv G where
inv_inv : ∀ x : G, x⁻¹⁻¹ = x
Should those be InvolutiveNeg
and InvolutiveInv
?

I suspect yes
Jireh Loreaux (Dec 03 2022 at 20:41):
Yes, definitely. Just haven't gotten around to changing them yet.
Kevin Buzzard (Dec 03 2022 at 20:44):
I can just do them now; I'm doing groupy stuff.

Looks like mathlib4#832 is attempting the rename as well
Kevin Buzzard (Dec 03 2022 at 21:16):
oh good catch -- thanks!

I looked around and also found other uses of Has
but didn't go for a more global refactor because for some it is not very clear what the new name should be - e.g. HasQuotient
would conflict with Quotient
.
Scott Morrison (Dec 04 2022 at 01:35):
I think HasQuotient
is okay.
Scott Morrison (Dec 04 2022 at 01:35):
It's a slightly stronger sense of 'has' here. :-)
