+It is possible to use parameters of the notation both in term and
+binding position. Here is an example:
+
+.. coqtop:: in
+
+ Definition force n (P:nat -> Prop) := forall n', n' >= n -> P n'.
+ Notation "▢_ n P" := (force n (fun n => P))
+ (at level 0, n ident, P at level 9, format "▢_ n P").
+
+.. coqtop:: all
+
+ Check exists p, ▢_p (p >= 1).
+
+More generally, the parameter can be a pattern, as in the following
+variant:
+
+.. coqtop:: in reset
+
+ Definition force2 q (P:nat*nat -> Prop) :=
+ (forall n', n' >= fst q -> forall p', p' >= snd q -> P q).

+ Notation "▢_ p P" := (force2 p (fun p => P))

+
+.. coqtop:: all
+
+ Check exists x y, ▢_(x,y) (x >= 1 /\ y >= 2).
+
+This support is experimental. For instance, the notation is used for
+printing only if the occurrence of the parameter in term position
+comes in the right-hand side before the occurrence in binding position.
