Resurrecting this thread from many years ago, because I was thinking about
it again recently, it seems to me that although { f &
isTrackedByRelEquiv(f) } satisfies the rule sym (sym e) = e judgmentally,
it doesn't satisfy the rule that sym id = id judgmentally.  (In particular,
I am not sure what relational equivalence to use for the identity
equivalence which does not change judgmentally when I flip the order of its
arguments.)  Is there a version of equivalence which simultaneously
satisfies that the inverse of the identity is judgmentally the identity,
and that inverting an equivalence twice judgmentally gives you what you
started with?
