[isabelle-dev] locales, groups, metric spaces?

[Lawrence Paulson]

And what about metric spaces themselves? (Not that we could include very much in the next release, but still)

A metric space has a carrier and a binary relation, so syntactically it’s similar to a monoid, except that we don’t expect to extend one with additional fields. So, at least, we should be able to avoid records.
