Topic: No more goals.

As a not very serious summer topic, what do you think of the "No more goals." message when a proof is finished (at least in CoqIde and JsCoq)?
Having no more goals sounds depressing. Vim's Coqtail gives the more glorious"All goals completed."

You have a point, sending a patch for that can't hurt. If you file an issue, it should be hopefully be labeled "good first issue" to help people pick it up.

Ok, I might do it for practice.

PR submitted (but I feel bad to trigger so many tests just for this :cry:).

this kind of change might be more useful to propose in VsCoq2, Coq-LSP or ProofGeneral, given that CoqIDE is seemingly on its way out (https://github.com/coq-community/manifesto/issues/145)

Careful with the « cannot hurt » quicky . I think Proofgeneral does not rely on this message. But I am not sure.

right, would be good if Coq gives some neutral canonical signal everybody agrees on, which can then be customized to an appropriate message at editor/protocol level... (as opposed to discussion about specific wording in Coq itself)

That's what the protocol is about. The oddball here is ProofGeneral, which relies on scraping the output of coqtop.

@Pierre Rousselin Feel free to submit a patch for VsCoq. It should be easy and there it cannot hurt ;)
