more TODO;
     1 * reconsider use of Thy_Info.get_theory: only works with batch-build, not within PIDE session;
     2   + consider in Build_Thydata:  Thy_Hierarchy.insert_errpatIDs
     3   + consider in Biegelinie.thy: KEStore_Elems.add_thes, 
     4 
     5 * MW: ML antiqutation @{rule_thm NAME} to produce (Rule.Thm ("NAME", ThmC.numerals_to_Free "NAME"));
     6 
     7 * MW: more concise "setup KEStore_Elems.add_rlss" etc.;
     8 
     9 * MW: check uses of Unsynchronized.ref vs. Synchronized.var;
    10 
    11 * MW: proper formal name space for rule set, model patterns, methods;
    12   proper setup command;
    13 
    14 * MW: clarify/eliminate Isabelle/Scala add-ons (presently unused)

    23 
    24 * MW: when Isabelle inner syntax is processed literally in Isabelle/ML, prefer formal Input.source
    25 with literal \<open>...\<close> instead of old-fashioned "..."; this will eventually allow automated update of
    26 old ASCII notation (e.g. "EX" vs. "\<exists>"), with the help of PIDE markup;
    27 
    28 
    29 * Clarify rule_set "prog_expr": avoid rebinding!?
    30 
    31 * rule_set: proper name space and declaration order (!?);
    32 
    33 * Avoid Thm.get_name_hint --- somewhat fragile.
    34 
    35 * Is it possible to eliminate union_overwrite, in favour of more standard data
    36   add/merge discipline?
    37 
    38 * What is the purpose of "#numeral" instead of plain numeral?
    39 
    40 * Check/clarify Context.theory_name vs. Context.theory_long_name.
    41 
    42 * Eliminate mutable Rewrite_Ord.rew_ord' (!?);
    43 
    44 
    45 * WN: remove always empty arguments in MethodC.prep_input and Problem.prep_input
    46   (following the "TODO" comment);
    47 
    48 * WN: trim-down MethodC.prep_input and Problem.prep_input to what is really needed.
    49 
    50 * WN: eliminate ThyC.to_ctxt, use Proof_Context.init_global inline to make more
    51   clear where the normal Isabelle context-discipline is bypassed;
    52 
    53 * WN: standardize theory for KEStore_Elems.add_rlss, KEStore_Elems.add_mets, KEStore_Elems.add_pbts
    54     - should be always the current @{theory} of the enclosing "setup" command;
    55     - avoid old-style "val thy = @{theory}" somewhere in a theory file;
    56 
    57 * WN: more direct logical foundations wrt. Isabelle/HOL, eliminate many axiomatizations
    58     - quite often "axiomatization ..." can be turned into "lemma ... by auto"
    59       without further ado;
    60     - sometimes this requires to use more specific types / type classes;
    61     - sometimes this requires to use proper definitional mechanisms (e.g. 'primrec', 'fun');
    62     - a few "hard" cases will remain, to be reconsidered eventually (e.g. differentiation);
    63 
    64 * WN: eliminate ThmC.numerals_to_Free, use existing Isabelle/HOL representation
    65     - clarify role of type "real" vs. "float" (see theory "HOL-Library.Float");
    66 
    67 * WN: Part.DONE cleanup remaining ^^^ in comments (but sometimes it is just ASCII art);
    68       Left ^^^ in doc-isac (old master-theses, etc: "x^^^#2 + #8" ... # are left, too)
    69       Left "ASCII art" in case of indicating comments pointing at facts ABOVE.
    70 
    71 * WN: "fun pr_ord" is not required if used with @{make_string}, @{print}, @{print tracing};
    72 
    73 * WN: eliminate global flags like "trace_on", replace Unsynchronized.ref by
    74 
    75 ML \<open>
    76   val rewrite_trace = Attrib.setup_config_bool \<^binding>\<open>rewrite_trace\<close> (K false);
    77 \<close>
