End list3.
+ For finer control, you can use a ``|`` between the uniform and
+ the non-uniform parameters:
+
+ .. coqtop:: in reset
+
+ Inductive Acc {A:Type} (R:A->A->Prop) | (x:A) : Prop
+ := Acc_in : (forall y, R y x -> Acc y) -> Acc x.
+
+ The flag can then be seen as deciding whether the ``|`` is at the
+ beginning (when the flag is unset) or at the end (when it is set)
+ of the parameters when not explicitly given.
