[Agda] Shadowing definitions

Hi guys,

I am currently working on my book “The Tao of Types” and I am now using literate agda and lhs2tex with agda mode . One issue is that for pedagogical reasons I like to repeat definitions but agda doesn’t allow this. Ok, I can declare the first definition as a spec which means it is ingnored by literate agda. I don’t really like this because it means that there is no type checking for the first definition. Also in some cases this doesn’t work and I have to go through all sort of tricks to make the code work. Is there a workaround, or would it be possible to allow shadowing (unsafely)?

Btw, another problem I have is to switch between agda-mode and latex-mode in emacs. I discovered that C-C C-n in latex mode switches to agda mode (not sure why) is there a key combination to switch from agda to latex?

Cheers,
Thorsten
