∃ (R : Type) (x : CommRing R) (_ : IsFractionRing R R) (I : Ideal R), I ≠ ⊤ ∧ Module.Invertible R ↥I
There exists a proper ideal I in a (commutative) total ring R of fractions that is an
invertible module. If I ⊊ R is such an example, I must have infinite order in the Picard group,
and R must not be Noetherian (otherwise it must be semi-local and therefore have trivial Picard
group).
