[isabelle-dev] Isabelle services not available this weekend (2015-07-03 to 2015-07-06)

2015-06-29 Thread Lars Noschinski
Hi everyone,

due to maintenance of the power grid at TU Munich, a number of Isabelle
related services will not be available this weekend (starting Friday,
July 3th, 9:00 CEST to Monday, July 6th, somewhere in the afternoon
CEST), in particular

  - the isabelle-dev mailing list,
  - the development repositories,
  - and the Munich mirror of the website[1].

The isabelle-users mailing list is hosted in Cambridge and thus not
affected.

  -- Lars

[1] The mirrors at Cambridge and Sydney are not affected:

Re: [isabelle-dev] NEWS: cases from goals

AFP probably has a few thousand.  I did not even check before sorting out 
this old problem from more than 10 years ago.  It could have been 
addressed earlier, then there would have been less work to eliminate it 
now.


Generally, there are more things that can be improved on Isar proofs, 
using the new facilities like 'consider' and 'have' / 'show' with 
eigen-context. Quite often, the elimination of awkward goal42(17) proofs 
actually uses that instead of falling back on the new goals method.

[isabelle-dev] Deprecating legacy ASCII symbols?

2015-06-29 Thread C. Diekmann
Dear list,

the following mail may contain a stupid idea.

In HOL.thy, the conjunction (conj) is first introduced with the 
symbol. Later, the notation ∧ is introduced. In order to clean up
this difficult-to-understand theory, would it be possible to directly
introduce conjunction with the ∧ symbol? I see three advantages:

1) It simplifies the axiomatizations (a very critical part).
2) It may help in getting started with Isabelle since no confusing 
symbol would appear anywhere. Currently, if a ctrl-click on a lemma
sends me to HOL.thy, things look pretty scary.
3) It would free up the symbol  for custom theories.

This could also be done for %, --, ==, ~, and many more.

I guess this would break a lot, that's why I'm posting on dev.

Best,
  Cornelius
