Hi Florian,

many month ago I was also surprised, then annoyed, and then I got used to always adding the "underscore-argument".

I fully agree that users shouldn't have to worry about such technicalities.

cheers

Hi all,

when searching for theorems, abbreviations may behave surprisingly:

        find_theorems "odd _" -- ‹considerable results›

        find_theorems "odd" -- ‹no results›

I guess this is due to abbreviation expansion which then yields

        find_theorems "λa. odd a" -- ‹no results›

So, this is formally correct but nevertheless IMHO inconventiently.  May
naive expectation is that when I am searching for a particular
operations I do not that to think about such technical detail.

What do others think?

This refers to 059ba950a657.

Cheers,
