Lawful fixed point operators #
This module defines the laws required of a has_fix instance, using the theory of
omega complete partial orders (ωCPO). Proofs of the lawfulness of all has_fix instances in
control.fix are provided.

- class
lawful_fix
- to_has_fix : has_fix α
- fix_eq : ∀ {f : α →o α}, omega_complete_partial_order.continuous f → has_fix.fix ⇑f = ⇑f (has_fix.fix ⇑f)
Intuitively, a fixed point operator fix is lawful if it satisfies fix f = f (fix f) for all
f, but this is inconsistent / uninteresting in most cases due to the existence of "exotic"
functions f, such as the function that is defined iff its argument is not, familiar from the
halting problem. Instead, this requirement is limited to only functions that are continuous in the
sense of ω-complete partial orders, which excludes the example because it is not monotone
(making the input argument less defined can make f more defined).
