Implementation note
In mathematics, an indicator function or a characteristic function is a function
used to indicate membership of an element in a set s,
having the value 1 for all elements of s and the value 0 otherwise.
But since it is usually used to restrict a function to a certain set s,
we let the indicator function take the value f x for some function f, instead of 1.
If the usual indicator function is needed, just set f to be the constant function fun _ ↦ 1.
The indicator function is implemented non-computably, to avoid having to pass around Decidable
arguments. This is in contrast with the design of Pi.single or Set.piecewise.
