Subject: Added multiple implicit arguments rules per name. Example: "Implicit
 Arguments eq_refl [[A] [x]] [[A]]".

This should a priori be used with care (it might be a bit disturbing
seeing the same constant used with apparently incompatible signatures).

+For names of constants, inductive types, constructors, lemmas which
