Description

I have noticed that some of my simple arithmetic proofs previously solved with auto stopped working after I stopped using FMapAVL. Surprisingly importing this module adds some purely arithmetic proof hints to core HintDB:

Print HintDb core.
Module NM := FMapAVL.Make(Nat_as_OT).
Print HintDb core.

For example, try searching for lt_not_gt in Print output before and after import.

The Coq Proof Assistant, version 8.8.2 (June 2019)
compiled on Jun 24 2019 9:35:09 with OCaml 4.07.0

Research direction

Reproduce the issue with Print HintDb core, then apply FMapAVL.Make(Nat_as_OT) and compare the output, checking for lt_not_gt before and after the import. Trace the hint registration associated with that module; done means importing it no longer adds unintended purely arithmetic hints to the core HintDB.
