As far as I can tell,
ofReduceNat
is no longer referenced or used anywhere in the codebase. A review of the commit history shows that its last reference was removed in 2021 (see 9f88ea8). Local testing also suggests thatofReduceNat
is unused.That said, the presence of an unused axiom is somewhat surprising, and since I’m new to this project there’s a chance I might be missing an indirect usage. If so, please let me know and I’ll either close this PR, or add a proper test for
ofReduceNat
depending on what is deemed the appropriate course of action.I’m submitting it as a draft to ensure everything builds in CI across all configurations. The next step will be to confirm that it also builds Mathlib successfully. Update: Seems to build Mathlib without problems.
