Hi Manuel,
Well, how about changing Sublist.subseq to Sublist.subsequence? And accordingly
strict_subseq to strict_subsequence or ssubsequence?

Yes, I noticed that as well. I decided to leave it that way since, well,
we do have qualified names.
If anybody has better suggestions, I am open to implementing them.

Dear all,
While porting some of my theories to the current development version,
I've just noticed that the renaming of sublisteq to subseq done by
Manuel in May (639eb3617a86) has one bad effect:
The name subseq is already used in Topological_Spaces to formalise the
concept of a subsequence. This name is now hidden by the definition in
Sublist, in particular when I import HOL-Probability.
Can this name clash be eliminated before the next release such that I
don't have to write Topological_Spaces.subseq everywhere?
Thanks,
Andreas

Thank you for your research. I am perfectly happy with "sublist" (for
the contiguous case) and "subseq" (for the general case) and think we
should adopt it.
[Then we would rename sublisteq -> subseq and sublist :: "'a list ⇒
nat set ⇒ 'a list" (in List) to something else, eg sublist_index)

I don't think that sublist, subsequence and substring really have
much of a bias in either direction, except possibly substring, but
the latter does indeed sound too specialized.
Wikipedia has a clear bias (and I did not edit it, nor did I look it
up before writing my previous email):
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subsequence
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Substring
Popular algorithm sbooks like Cormen et al. follow the same
definition of subsequence. Standard expressions like "longest
increasing subsequence" depend on this semantics.
As for sublist, all the examples I see by Googling either "sublist",
"is_sublist", "isSublist", or "indexOfSubList" in Java, Python,
Scala, etc., have the contiguous semantics. Including this page:
http://www4.in.tum.de/lehre/praktika/psv/psv98/Vorlesung5/aufg4.html
I'm not saying we should rename the Isabelle concepts, just that
Isabelle is the odd (wo)man out.
