paradigms. However, if there are tactics which perform non-trivial operations
|
||||||
|
to multiple goals at the same time, this constrain could potentially be
|
||||||
|
relaxed at a cost of great bookkeeping overhead to the user.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Pantograph cannot perform things that are inherently constrained by Lean. These
|
||||||
|
include:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- If a tactic loses track of metavariables, it will not be caught until the end
|
||||||
|
of the proof search. This is a bug in the tactic itself.
|
||||||
|
- Timeouts for executing tactics is not available. Maybe this will change in the
|
||||||
|
future.
|
||||||
|
- Interceptions of parsing errors generally cannot be turned into goals (e.g.
|
||||||
|
`def mystery : Nat := :=`) due to Lean's parsing system.
