Discrete subsets of topological spaces #

Given a topological space X together with a subset s ⊆ X, there are two distinct concepts of "discreteness" which may hold. These are: (i) Every point of s is isolated (i.e., the subset topology induced on s is the discrete topology). (ii) Every compact subset of X meets s only finitely often (i.e., the inclusion map s → X tends to the cocompact filter along the cofinite filter on s).

When s is closed, the two conditions are equivalent provided X is locally compact and T1, see IsClosed.tendsto_coe_cofinite_iff.
