  · /- Start from an entourage `s`. It contains a closed entourage `t`. Its pullback in `α` is an
      entourage, so it contains an `ε`-neighborhood of the diagonal by definition of the entourages
      in metric spaces. Then `t` contains an `ε`-neighborhood of the diagonal in `Completion α`, as
      closed properties pass to the completion. -/

  · /- Start from a set `s` containing an ε-neighborhood of the diagonal in `Completion α`. To show
        that it is an entourage, we use the fact that `dist` is uniformly continuous on
        `Completion α × Completion α` (this is a general property of the extension of uniformly
        continuous functions). Therefore, the preimage of the ε-neighborhood of the diagonal in ℝ
        is an entourage in `Completion α × Completion α`. Massaging this property, it follows that
        the ε-neighborhood of the diagonal is an entourage in `Completion α`, and therefore this is
        also the case of `s`. -/
