Prerequisites

Please put an X between the brackets as you perform the following steps:

• [X] Check that your issue is not already filed: https://github.com/leanprover/lean4/issues
• [X] Reduce the issue to a minimal, self-contained, reproducible test case. Avoid dependencies to Mathlib or Batteries.
• [X] Test your test case against the latest nightly release, for example on https://live.lean-lang.org/#project=lean-nightly (You can also use the settings there to switch to “Lean nightly”)

Description

reduce does not recurse into binder types, even with skipTypes := false. As a result, the expression computed by reduce is not the input expression's normal form (at the given transparency).

MWE:

import Lean

open Lean Lean.Meta

def Foo := True

def Bar := Foo → Foo

run_meta do
  logInfo $ ← reduceAll (.const ``Bar [])
  -- Foo → True
