Small types

A type is w-small if there exists an equivalence to some S : Type w.

We provide a noncomputable model Shrink α : Type w, and equivShrink α : α ≃ Shrink α.

A subsingleton type is w-small for any w.

If α ≃ β, then Small.{w} α ↔ Small.{w} β.

See Mathlib.Logic.Small.Basic for further instances and theorems.
