+Variable g : Pi A : Type, A -> A.
+Variables a b : Int
+(*
+The following example demonstrates a limitation in the current elaborator.
+The current elaborator decides overloads before filling holes.
+The symbol '>' is overloaded. The possible overloads are:
+    Nat::lt   Nat -> Nat -> Nat
+    Int::lt   Int -> Int -> Int
+    Real::lt  Real -> Real -> Real
+The type of (g _ a) is not available when the overload is decided, and
+0 has type Nat. Then, the overload resolver selects
+    Nat::lt   Nat -> Nat -> Nat
+Now, when we fill the holes, (g _ a) is elaborated to (g Int a) which
+has type Int, and we fail.
+If the hole elaborator and overload resolver are executed simultaneously,
+we would get the fully elaborated term:
+
+    Int::le (g Int a) (nat_to_int 0)
+*)
+Axiom H1 : g _ a > 0
+(*
+One workaround consists in manually providing the coercion.
+*)
+Axiom H1 : g _ a > (nat_to_int 0)
