+Bidirectionality hints
+----------------------
+
+When type-checking an application, Coq normally does not use information from
+the context to infer the types of the arguments. It only checks after the fact
+that the type inferred for the application is coherent with the expected type.
+Bidirectionality hints make it possible to specify that after type-checking the
+first arguments of an application, typing information should be propagated from
