Context {A : Type}.
We rebind relational properties in separate classes to be able to overload each proof.

reflexivity : forall x : A, R x x.

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 on a given type `A`. This is also done automatically by the Declare Relation A RA commands. It has no mode declaration: it will assign `?A := Prop, ?R := iff` on an entirely unspecified query `RewriteRelation ?A ?R`, or any prefered rewrite relation of priority < 2.

Pointwise extension of a binary operation on T to a binary operation on functions whose codomain is T. For an operator on Prop this lifts the operator to a binary operation.

### 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
