(** Here are collected some results about the type sumbool (see INIT/Specif.v)
   [sumbool A B], which is written [{A}+{B}], is the informative
   disjunction "A or B", where A and B are logical propositions.
   Its extraction is isomorphic to the type of booleans. *)

(** A boolean is either [true] or [false], and this is decidable *)

Definition sumbool_of_bool : forall b:bool, {b = true} + {b = false}.
  destruct b; auto.
Defined.

Hint Resolve sumbool_of_bool: bool.

Definition bool_eq_rec :
  forall (b:bool) (P:bool -> Set),
    (b = true -> P true) -> (b = false -> P false) -> P b.
  destruct b; auto.
Defined.

Definition bool_eq_ind :
  forall (b:bool) (P:bool -> Prop),
    (b = true -> P true) -> (b = false -> P false) -> P b.
  destruct b; auto.
Defined.
