I'm trying to use a predicate I've imported and I'm getting this error and I don't know what it means. Anybody know what I might be doing wrong?

You can't reference top-level functions or predicates in variables. So:
predicate isNonzero(something)
{
something != 0;
}
const myPredicate = isNonzero; // Error -- not allowed
const myPredicate = function(something) { return isNonzero(something); }; // OkIlya Baran \ VP, Architecture and FeatureScript \ Onshape Inc1

predicate isNonzero(something)
{
something != 0;
}
const myPredicate = isNonzero; // Error -- not allowed
const myPredicate = function(something) { return isNonzero(something); }; // Ok
