In lean lsp when you try #check (1 + 1 : True) you get the following error message:
Type mismatch
1 + 1
has type
Nat
of sort `outParam Type` but is expected to have type
True
of sort `Prop`
However, when running kernel check you 1 + 1 get elaborated into a metavariable. And you don't get a meaningful error message.
This is not a soundness issue, but would be helpful for users understanding why the kernel check failed.
