  1. It should be clarified that type checking is decidable, not e.g Type inhabitation or some other property.

    Added explanation of “extensional” vs “intensional”.

    To further clarify this it would help to hyperlink “extensionality principles”. We have extension (semantics), but currently this does not really explain much.

    Looking around, I see that the first paragraph of Wikipedia’s entry Extensionality is helpful. It would be nice if we had something along these lines on the nLab.

    I have added reference to

    • Thomas Streicher, Investigations into Intensional Type Theory, Habilitation Thesis, Darmstadt (1993) [pdf]

    and added pointers in the text to where concretely (on which pages) Streicher and then Hofman touch on the issue at hand.

    I have also adjusted the wording throughout, in particular in the “Remark on terminology” (now here).

    (It is a pity that such an important topic ended up with such a murky and confusing terminology.)
