+ forall prm1 prm2 ... prmp, (induction parameters)
+ forall Q1...,(Qi:Ti_1 -> Ti_2 ->...-> Ti_ni),...Qq, (predicates)
+ branch1, branch2, ... , branchr, (branches of the principle)

+ -> (Qi x1...xni HI (f prm1...prmp x1...xni)).(conclusion)
+ ^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+ optional optional
+ even if HI argument added if principle
+ present above generated by functional induction
+ [indarg] [farg]
+
+ HI is not present when the induction principle does not come directly from an
+ inductive type (like when it is generated by functional induction for
+ example). HI is present otherwise BUT may not appear in the conclusion
+ (dependent principle). HI and (f...) cannot be both present.
+
+ Principles taken from functional induction have the final (f...).
