* Add constr_fail and constr_fail_withGravatar Jason Gross2019-03-31
Rather than taking the convention that failures during constr construction emit a type error from `I : I` with the actual error message `idtac`d above them (because Coq has no way to emit multiple things on stderr), we instead factor everything through a new `constr_fail` or `constr_fail_with msg_tac`, which emit more helpful messages instructing the user to look in `*coq*` or to use `Fail`/`try` to see the more informative error message. When we can make our own version that does both `idtac` and `fail` (c.f. https://github.com/coq/coq/issues/3913), then we can do something a bit more sane, hopefully.
