def Mathlib.Tactic.Nontriviality.nontriviality : Lean.ParserDescr

Attempts to generate a Nontrivial α hypothesis.

The tactic first looks for an instance using infer_instance.

If the goal is an (in)equality, the type α is inferred from the goal. Otherwise, the type needs to be specified in the tactic invocation, as nontriviality α.

The nontriviality tactic will first look for strict inequalities amongst the hypotheses, and use these to derive the Nontrivial instance directly.

Otherwise, it will perform a case split on Subsingleton α ∨ Nontrivial α, and attempt to discharge the Subsingleton goal using simp [h₁, h₂, ..., hₙ, nontriviality], where [h₁, h₂, ..., hₙ] is a list of additional simp lemmas that can be passed to nontriviality using the syntax nontriviality α using h₁, h₂, ..., hₙ.
