This module defines ∨ (for join) and ∧ (for meet)
as binary operators so other modules can import them for their own purposes.
We also define dist so distance can be defined in various modules.
Two of my modules use the meet and join operators. Here's what happens when we don't first define them via this module:
julia> using SimplePartitions
julia> using ClosedIntervals
julia> A = 3..5
[3,5]
julia> B = 6..10
[6,10]
julia> A ∨ B
WARNING: both ClosedIntervals and SimplePartitions export "∨"; uses of it in module Main must be qualified
ERROR: UndefVarError: ∨ not defined
Stacktrace:
[1] top-level scope at none:0
To fix this, my modules that use these operators need to import them from
AbstractLattices.
The ∨ and ∧ operations are explicitly defined for Bool values. That is
true ∨ false evaluates to true, and so forth.
