-- We however want to use the notion of Maybe and Pair internal to
-- the standard library. For this we use `coerce` to take use back
-- to the types we are used to.
-- The typeclass mechanism uses the coercion rules for Maybe and Pair,
-- as well as the knowledge that natural numbers are represented as
-- integers.
-- We additionally benefit from the congruence rules for List, Char,
-- Bool, and a reflexivity principle for variable A.
uncons : List A → Maybe (A × List A)
uncons = coerce primUncons
catMaybes : List (Maybe A) → List A
catMaybes = coerce primCatMaybes
testChar : Char → Bool
testChar = coerce primTestChar
-- note that coerce is useless here but the proof could come from
-- either `coerce-fun coerce-refl coerce-refl` or `coerce-refl` alone
-- We (and Agda) do not care which proof we got.
eqNat : Nat → Nat → Bool
eqNat = coerce primIntEq
-- We can coerce `Nat` to `Int` but not `Int` to `Nat`. This fundamentally
-- relies on the fact that `Coercible` understands that functions are
-- contravariant.
