Lurch Options

We just use a global for storing the current options. This avoids having to pass it as an optional argument through the entire validation chain of interpretations and validation tools. To set an option just do e.g. LurchOptions.avoidLoneMetavars = false. Current validation options are:

• validateall - if true, validate all inferences. If false, only validate the target.
• checkPreemies - Check for preemies iff this is true
• processBIHs - process BIHs iff this is true
• instantiateEverything - don't avoid anything below (equivalent to setting the next three settings to false)
• avoidLoneMetavars - if true don't try to instantiate lone metavariables, otherwise try to instantiate them with every user proposition.
• avoidLoneEFAs - the same thing for lone EFAs
• avoidLoneElementOfs - the same thing for lone x∈A's where A is a metavariable
• processEquations - process equations iff this is true
• processCases- process the cases tool iff this is true
• autoCases - similar to avoidLoneMetavars=false. If true, then identify all Cases-like rules and try to instantiate their univar conclusion with every user's conclusion in the document.
• processCAS - process CAS tool iff this is true
• processAlgebra - use the CAS tool to validate equations followed by 'by algebra' iff this is true
• swapTheoremProofPairs - move theorems after their next sibling if its a proof
• updateProgress - the function that gives progress updates while instantiating
• updateFreq - how often to give a progress update during a pass
• badResultMsg - what the feedback message should be internally to expressions which are not found to be propositionally valid
• runStudentTests - use all of the student test files in the acid test suite
• startStudentTest - the number of the first student test to run
• endStudentTest - the number of the last student test to run
