I hope it is just my mailer which did not show your suggested improvement.
| ++ A is homotopic to B iff any element of domain B can be
| ++ automically converted into an element of domain B, and nay
| ++ element of domain B can be automatically converted into an A.
| HomotopicTo(S: Type): Category == Join(CoercibleTo S, CoercibleFrom S)
|
| After I have added
|
| MyInt: HomotopicTo(Integer) == add ...
which brings:
coerce: MyInt -> Integer
coerce: Integer -> MyInt
| on *top* of the OpenAxiom library (i.e. without modifying the OA-lib),
| then for A=Integer and B=MyInt the right hand side of the 'iff' above
| is true. Should I expect that
|
| Integer has HomotopicTo MyInt
|
| gives true?
Is that what the documentation says?
| I better don't repeat the 'interdependency' stuff.
Indeed.
