Agda rejects identity function on indexed datatype with erased index · Issue #6867 · agda/agda · GitHub

Consider the following example:

postulate A : Set

data This : A  Set where
  this : (x : A)  This x

id-this :  {@0 x}  This x  This x
id-this (this x) = this x

Agda complains:

Variable x is declared erased, so it cannot be used here
when checking that the expression x has type A

Without the @0 in the type signature of id-this, the definition is accepted. Intuitively, it feels wrong that marking something in the type signature (which is anyway erased) with @0 makes Agda consider a constructor argument to be erased.

This reminds me of a general issue with modalities in the LHS unifier that I remember discussing with @anuyts a long time ago, so perhaps he has an opinion on the matter.
