Topic: MeasureSpace instance on Subtype
Yury G. Kudryashov (Oct 10 2023 at 16:34):
Currently, we have a MeasureSpace
instance on Subtype _
, introduced in !3#16708. I'm not sure if this should be an instance: while it works fine for subsets of positive measure, some sets of zero measure have natural lower-dimensional volume.

I agree with you that's is debatable (for instance, the real line in the complex plane has a more natural measure than the zero measure). It's probably safer to have it as a definition, which one can register locally as an instance when needed.

That sounds like a good reason to not have it as an instance :+1:
