We may miss solutions, but the solutions found are much more readable.
For example, without this option, for elaboration problem
Theorem Example4 (a b c d e : N) (H: (a = b ∧ b = e ∧ b = c) ∨ (a = d ∧ d = c)) : (h a c) = (h c a) :=
DisjCases H
(fun H1 : _,
let AeqC := Trans (Conjunct1 H1) (Conjunct2 (Conjunct2 H1))
in CongrH AeqC (Symm AeqC))
(fun H1 : _,
let AeqC := Trans (Conjunct1 H1) (Conjunct2 H1)
in CongrH AeqC (Symm AeqC))
the elaborator generates
Theorem Example4 (a b c d e : N) (H : a = b ∧ b = e ∧ b = c ∨ a = d ∧ d = c) : (h a c) = (h c a) :=
DisjCases
H
(λ H1 : if
Bool
(if Bool (a = b) (if Bool (if Bool (if Bool (b = e) (if Bool (b = c) ⊥ ⊤) ⊤) ⊥ ⊤) ⊥ ⊤) ⊤)
⊥
⊤,
let AeqC := Trans (Conjunct1 H1) (Conjunct2 (Conjunct2 H1)) in CongrH AeqC (Symm AeqC))
(λ H1 : if Bool (if Bool (a = d) (if Bool (d = c) ⊥ ⊤) ⊤) ⊥ ⊤,
let AeqC := Trans (Conjunct1 H1) (Conjunct2 H1) in CongrH AeqC (Symm AeqC))
The solution is correct, but it is not very readable. The problem is that the elaborator expands the definitions of \/ and /\.

Motivations:
- We have been writing several comments of the form "... trace/justification..." and "this trace object justify ...".
- Avoid confusion with util/trace.h

This normalization rule is not really a computational rule.
It is essentially encoding the reflexivity axiom as computation.
It can also be abaused. For example, with this rule,
the following definition is valid:
Theorem Th : a = a := Refl b

The printer and formatter objects are not trusted code.
We moved them to the kernel to be able to provide them as an argument to the trace objects.
Another motivation is to eliminate the kernel_exception_formatter hack.
With the formatter in the kernel, we can implement the pretty printer for kernel exceptions as a virtual method.

Trace objects will be used to justify steps performed by engines such as the elaborator. We use them to implement non-chronological backtracking in the elaborator. They are also use to justify to the user why something did not work.
The unification constraints are in the kernel because the type checker may create them when type checking a term containing metavariables.
Remark: a minimalistic kernel does not need to include metavariables, unification constraints, nor trace objects. We include these objects in our kernel to minimize code duplication.

- Use hierarchical names instead of unsigned integers to identify metavariables.
- Associate type with metavariable.
- Replace metavar_env with substitution.
- Rename meta_ctx --> local_ctx
- Rename meta_entry --> local_entry
- Disable old elaborator
- Rename unification_problems to unification_constraints
- Add metavar_generator
- Fix metavar unit tests
- Modify type checker to use metavar_generator
- Fix placeholder module
