Description

import Mathlib

variable (α β : Type) [AddCommMonoid β] (s : Set α) (f : α → β) in
#check ∑ᶠ a ∈ s, f a -- ∑ᶠ (a : α) (_ : a ∈ s), f a : β

The ∑ᶠ notation is currently defined using notation3 but when using it for summing over a set rather than a type, delaboration prints the sum as over the type then the set. See for example https://github.com/leanprover-community/mathlib4/pull/22048 , a PR writing an analogous delaborator for Finset.sum over a set.

Note that Mathlib/Util/Delaborators.lean currently contains some ad hoc delaborators, but it would be nice to work out a general system whereby notation3 is able to delaborate extended binders.

Research direction

Start with the reproduction in the issue and read Mathlib/Util/Delaborators.lean, then compare the analogous Finset.sum delaborator in pull request 22048. The work is done when extended binders such as sums over sets delaborate naturally through a general notation3 system rather than ad hoc cases.
