-- trustMe {x = x} {y = y} evaluates to refl if x and y are
-- definitionally equal.

-- For an example of the use of trustMe, see Data.String._≟_.

-- "Erases" a proof. The original proof is not inspected. The
-- resulting proof reduces to refl if the two sides are definitionally
-- equal. Note that checking for definitional equality can be slow.
