FSet/OrderedType now includes an eq_dec, and hence become an extension of DecidableType
After lots of hesitations, OrderedType now requires this "eq_dec" field, which is redundant (can be deduced from "compare"), but allows the subtyping relation DecidableType <= OrderedType, and hence WS <= S : ordered sets are now truly extensions of weak sets. Of course this change introduces a last-minute incompatibility, but: - There is a clear gain in term of functionnality / simplicity. - FSets 8.2 already needs some adaptations when compared with 8.1, so it's the right time to push such incompatible changes. - Transition shouldn't be too hard: the old OrderedType still exists under the name MiniOrderedType, and functor MOT_to_OT allows to convert from one to the other. Beware, for a FSetInterface.WS (resp. S) to be coercible to a DecidableType (resp. OrderedType), an eq_dec on sets is now required in these interfaces and in the implementations. In pratice, it is really easy to build from equal and equal_1 and equal_2. Some name changes : in FSetFacts, old WFacts now correspond to WFacts_fun, while WFacts now expects only one argument (WFacts M := WFacts_fun M.E M). Idem with WDecide, WProperties and WEqProperties. git-svn-id: svn+ssh://scm.gforge.inria.fr/svn/coq/trunk@11693 85f007b7-540e-0410-9357-904b9bb8a0f7

thanks to new features of Coq modules (in particular Include), see
FSetInterface. Same for maps. Hints in these interfaces have been
reworked (they are now placed in a "set" database).
+ * To allow full subtyping between weak and ordered sets, a field
+ "eq_dec" has been added to OrderedType. The old version of OrderedType
+ is now called MiniOrderedType and functor MOT_to_OT allow to
+ convert to the new version. The interfaces and implementations
+ of sets now contain also such a "eq_dec" field.
* FSetDecide, contributed by Aaron Bohannon, contains a decision
procedure allowing to solve basic set-related goals (for instance,
is a point in a particular set ?). See FSetProperties for examples.
