The finite-dimensionality theorem is in fact an easy consequence of a finiteness assertion
which is valid in far more generality, namely for division algebras over number fields.
We state and prove this result in this generality. Let $K$ be a number field and let $D/K$
be a central simple $K$-algebra. Assume furthermore that $D$ is a \emph{division algebra},
that is, that every nonzero element of $D$ is a unit. The finiteness theorem we want is this.

\label{DivisionAlgebra.finiteDoubleCoset}
If $U\subseteq (D\otimes_F\A_F^\infty)^\times$ is a compact open subgroup,
then the double coset space $D^\times\backslash(D\otimes_F\A_F^\infty)^\times/U$ is a
finite set.
\end{theorem}

I (kmb) had always imagined that this latter finiteness statement was ``folklore'' or
``a standard consequence of results about automorphic forms'', but in John Voight's
book~\cite{voight} this is Main Theorem 27.6.14(b) and Voight calls it Fujisaki’s lemma.

Let's prove finite-dimensionality of the space of quaternionic modular forms
assuming Fujisaki's lemma.

Choose a set of coset representative $g_1,g_2,\ldots,g_n$ for
$D^\times\backslash(D\otimes_F\A_F^\infty)^\times/U$. My claim is that
the function $S_{W,\chi}(U;K)\to W^n$ sending $f$ to $(f(g_1),f(g_2),\ldots,f(g_n))$
