Description

In Lean 3 we had:

import tactic.zify

example (h : 0 = 0) : true :=
begin
  zify at h,     -- `h` is `(0 : ℤ) = 0`, not `true`.
  fail_if_success { assumption, },
  trivial,
end

but in Lean 4 we now have:

import Mathlib.Tactic.Zify

example (h : 0 = 0) : True := by
  zify at h   -- `h` has become `True`
  assumption

Research direction

Start by reproducing the two examples using the Mathlib.Tactic.Zify import and inspect the zify tactic entry point. Compare the resulting type of h in Lean 4 with the Lean 3 behavior shown in the issue; done means an equality such as (0 : ℤ) = 0 is not changed into True by zify at h.
