Dear list,
with rewrite rules I can tell the compiler to replace "map id" by "id",
but I still have to write that rule by hand.
Does anyone of you know about research into inferring such a rewrite
rule automatically? I could imagine that for a function of type "f ::
some -> args -> T a -> T b" and not-too-bad type constructors T it might
be possible under what conditions on "some" and "args" infer when "f
arg1 arg2 = id" holds, and if the conditions are fulfilled by functions
like "id", generate a rewrite rule "f id id = id" automatically.
Thanks,
Joachim
