Difference list #

This file provides a few results about DList, which is defined in Std.

A difference list is a function that, given a list, returns the original content of the difference list prepended to the given list. It is useful to represent elements of a given type as a₁ + ... + aₙ where + : α → α → α is any operation, without actually computing.

This structure supports O(1) append and push operations on lists, making it useful for append-heavy uses such as logging and pretty printing.

def Std.DList.join {α : Type u_1} :

Concatenates a list of difference lists to form a single difference list. Similar to List.join.
