Heyting regular elements

This file defines Heyting regular elements, elements of a Heyting algebra that are their own double complement, and proves that they form a Boolean algebra.

From a logic standpoint, this means that we can perform classical logic within intuitionistic logic by simply double-negating all propositions. This is practical for synthetic computability theory.

Main declarations

• IsRegular: a is Heyting-regular if aᶜᶜ = a.
• Regular: The subtype of Heyting-regular elements.
• Regular.BooleanAlgebra: Heyting-regular elements form a Boolean algebra.
