\section[Inductive Definitions]{Inductive Definitions\label{Cic-inductive-definitions}}
A (possibly mutual) inductive definition is specified by giving the
-names and the type of the inductive sets or families to be
-defined and the names and types of the constructors of the inductive
-predicates. An inductive declaration in the global environment can
-consequently be represented with two local contexts (one for inductive
-definitions, one for constructors).

Stating the rules for inductive definitions in their general form
needs quite tedious definitions. We shall try to give a concrete
