Lemma dec_stable `{Decision P} : ¬¬PP.
Proof. firstorder. Qed.

We introduce decide_rel to avoid inefficienct computation due to eager evaluation of propositions by vm_compute. This inefficiency occurs if (x = y) := (f x = f y) as decide (x = y) evaluates to decide (f x = f y) which then might lead to evaluation of f x and f y. Using decide_rel we hide f under a lambda abstraction to avoid this unnecessary evaluation.
Definition decide_rel {A B} (R : ABProp) {dec : ∀ x y, Decision (R x y)}
  (x : A) (y : B) : Decision (R x y) := dec x y.
Lemma decide_rel_correct {A B} (R : ABProp) `{∀ x y, Decision (R x y)}
  (x : A) (y : B) : decide_rel R x y = decide (R x y).
Proof. done. Qed.

The tactic case_decide performs case analysis on an arbitrary occurrence of decide or decide_rel in the conclusion or hypotheses.
Ltac case_decide :=
  match goal with
  | H : context [@decide ?P ?dec] |- _ =>
    destruct (@decide P dec)
  | H : context [@decide_rel _ _ ?R ?x ?y ?dec] |- _ =>
    destruct (@decide_rel _ _ R x y dec)
  | |- context [@decide ?P ?dec] =>
    destruct (@decide P dec)
  | |- context [@decide_rel _ _ ?R ?x ?y ?dec] =>
    destruct (@decide_rel _ _ R x y dec)
  end.

The tactic solve_decision uses Coq's decide equality tactic together with instance resolution to automatically generate decision procedures.
Ltac solve_trivial_decision :=
  match goal with
  | |- Decision (?P) => apply _
  | |- sumbool ?P (¬?P) => change (Decision P); apply _
  end.
Ltac solve_decision := intros; first
  [ solve_trivial_decision
  | unfold Decision; decide equality; solve_trivial_decision ].

We can convert decidable propositions to booleans.
Definition bool_decide (P : Prop) {dec : Decision P} : bool :=
  if dec then true else false.

Lemma bool_decide_unpack (P : Prop) {dec : Decision P} : bool_decide PP.
Proof. unfold bool_decide. by destruct dec. Qed.
Lemma bool_decide_pack (P : Prop) {dec : Decision P} : Pbool_decide P.
Proof. unfold bool_decide. by destruct dec. Qed.

Decidable Sigma types

Leibniz equality on Sigma types requires the equipped proofs to be equal as Coq does not support proof irrelevance. For decidable we propositions we define the type dsig P whose Leibniz equality is proof irrelevant. That is x y : dsig P, x = y ↔ `x = `y.
Definition dsig `(P : AProp) `{∀ x : A, Decision (P x)} :=
  { x | bool_decide (P x) }.
Definition proj2_dsig `{∀ x : A, Decision (P x)} (x : dsig P) : P (`x) :=
  bool_decide_unpack _ (proj2_sig x).
Definition dexist `{∀ x : A, Decision (P x)} (x : A) (p : P x) : dsig P :=
  xbool_decide_pack _ p.

Lemma dsig_eq {A} (P : AProp) {dec : ∀ x, Decision (P x)}
  (x y : dsig P) : x = y ↔ `x = `y.
Proof.
  split.
  * destruct x, y. apply proj1_sig_inj.
  * intro. destruct x as [x Hx], y as [y Hy].
    simpl in *. subst. f_equal.
    revert Hx Hy. case (bool_decide (P y)).
    + by intros [] [].
    + done.
Qed.
