Comeagre subgroup completeness argument

ID: comeagre-subgroup-completeness-argument

A dense additive subgroup of a complete metrizable topological group cannot be proper if it is comeagre. Every translate is comeagre and meets the subgroup, so every translating element is a difference of two subgroup elements. Applied to a topologically complete normed space inside its completion, this proves that its original norm is complete.
