For sure. I think it confuses beginners at first, because == is only
allowed in "real" definitions rather than derived ones.

"Real" definitions are actually just for foundational purposes: users
never see them -- neither end-users nor users in the sense of other
tools built on top of the system infrastructure (notably
Local_Theory.define).

As long as "def" and "defines" require "==", I don't see much reason in abandoning "==" for "definition" in my own usage.

(Actually, I would even prefer to use == even for fun and primrec, as it has a better priority for these purposes.)
