We allow to unfold the relation definition while doing morphism search.

Context {A : Type}.
We rebind relational properties in separate classes to be able to overload each proof.
Class Reflexive (R : relation A) :=
reflexivity : forall x : A, R x x.
Definition complement (R : relation A) : relation A := fun x y => R x y -> False.
Opaque for proof-search.
Typeclasses Opaque complement.
These are convertible.
Lemma complement_inverse R : complement (flip R) = flip (complement R).
Class Irreflexive (R : relation A) :=
irreflexivity : Reflexive (complement R).
Class Symmetric (R : relation A) :=
symmetry : forall {x y}, R x y -> R y x.
Class Asymmetric (R : relation A) :=
asymmetry : forall {x y}, R x y -> R y x -> False.
Class Transitive (R : relation A) :=
transitivity : forall {x y z}, R x y -> R y z -> R x z.
Various combinations of reflexivity, symmetry and transitivity.
A PreOrder is both Reflexive and Transitive.
Class PreOrder (R : relation A) : Prop := {

A StrictOrder is both Irreflexive and Transitive.
Class StrictOrder (R : relation A) : Prop := {
StrictOrder_Irreflexive :> Irreflexive R ;
StrictOrder_Transitive :> Transitive R }.
By definition, a strict order is also asymmetric

A partial equivalence relation is Symmetric and Transitive.
Class PER (R : relation A) : Prop := {

Equivalence relations.
Class Equivalence (R : relation A) : Prop := {
Equivalence_Reflexive :> Reflexive R ;
Equivalence_Symmetric :> Symmetric R ;
Equivalence_Transitive :> Transitive R }.
An Equivalence is a PER plus reflexivity.

An Equivalence is a PreOrder plus symmetry.

We can now define antisymmetry w.r.t. an equivalence relation on the carrier.
Class Antisymmetric eqA `{equ : Equivalence eqA} (R : relation A) :=
antisymmetry : forall {x y}, R x y -> R y x -> eqA x y.
Class subrelation (R R' : relation A) : Prop :=
is_subrelation : forall {x y}, R x y -> R' x y.
Any symmetric relation is equal to its inverse.

Rewrite relation on a given support: declares a relation as a rewrite relation for use by the generalized rewriting tactic. It helps choosing if a rewrite should be handled by the generalized or the regular rewriting tactic using leibniz equality. Users can declare an RewriteRelation A RA anywhere to declare default relations. This is also done automatically by the Declare Relation A RA commands.
Class RewriteRelation (RA : relation A).
Any Equivalence declared in the context is automatically considered a rewrite relation.

Leibinz equality eq is an equivalence relation. The instance has low priority as it is always applicable if only the type is constrained.

Unary predicates, or sets.

### Partial Order.

A partial order is a preorder which is additionally antisymmetric. We give an equivalent definition, up-to an equivalence relation on the carrier.
Class PartialOrder eqA `{equ : Equivalence A eqA} R `{preo : PreOrder A R} :=
partial_order_equivalence : relation_equivalence eqA (relation_conjunction R (flip R)).
The equivalence proof is sufficient for proving that R must be a morphism for equivalence (see Morphisms). It is also sufficient to show that R is antisymmetric w.r.t. eqA
