V(x² + y²) ⊆ ℝ² has support the origin and no simple point #
The standard example x² + y² of the phenomenon Hironaka remarks on [Hir64, Introduction], a
reduced real-analytic space whose simple locus is not dense: the closed subspace
X = V(x² + y²) of the real plane (reduced, since x² + y² is irreducible in ℝ{x, y} and
the quotient 𝒪_{ℝ²,0} / (x² + y²) is therefore a domain: circleSpace_isReduced of
HironakaExamples/Space/CircleReduced.lean, for the analytic space of the same equation) has the
single real point 0, and 0 is not a simple point — the stalk 𝒪_{ℝ²,0} / (x² + y²) is not
regular, since
x² + y² is a nonzero element of 𝔪_0² of the regular local ring 𝒪_{ℝ²,0}
(Hironaka.Local.not_isRegularLocalRing_quotient_span_singleton, [TSPA, Tag 00NR]). So
X.regularLocus = ∅ with X ≠ ∅, and the lift of the simple locus is empty; this is why the
resolution of real-analytic spaces (AnalyticSpace.exists_functorial_resolution) asserts only that
the image of the resolution is the closure of the simple locus.

The plane's coordinate germs at a point #
The germ at x of the i-th coordinate section is the coordinate germ of the identity chart
(coord).
The germ of x² + y² at x in the coordinate germs.
The value of x² + y² at a point p of the plane is p 0 ^ 2 + p 1 ^ 2.
V(x² + y²): the support and the simple points #
The support of V(x² + y²) ⊆ ℝ² is the origin ([Hir64, Introduction]).
The coordinate germs at the origin lie in the maximal ideal.
x² + y² does not vanish identically near the origin: its value at (t, t) is 2 t²
(the identity lemma germ_eq_zero_iff).
At a point of the support of x² + y² (the origin), 𝒪_{ℝ²,0}/(x² + y²) is not a regular
local ring: x² + y² is a nonzero element of the square of the maximal ideal.
V(x² + y²) ⊆ ℝ² has no simple point ([Hir64, Introduction]). At the only point 0 the
stalk of X is 𝒪_{ℝ²,0} / (x² + y²) (mem_reg_toAnalyticSpace_iff) with x² + y² a nonzero
element of 𝔪_0², and a regular local ring modulo a nonzero element of 𝔪² is not regular.
