-		 <para>Declares <command>u</command> as an implicit coercion.
-		 If the type of <command>u</command> is 	
-		 <command>∀x1:T1. … ∀x(n-1):T(n-1).Tn</command> the coercion target is
-		 <command>T(n - ariety)</command> while its source is 
-		 <command>T(n - ariety - saturation - 1)</command>.
-	    Every time a term <command>x</command>
-            of type source is used with expected type target, Matita
-            automatically replaces <command>x</command> with
-            <command>(u ? … ? x ? … ?)</command> to avoid a typing error.</para>
-            Note that the number of <command>?</command> added after 
-	    <command>x</command> is saturation.
-           <para>Implicit coercions are not displayed to the user:
-            <command>(u ? … ? x)</command> is rendered simply

-            target <command>s</command> or source <command>t</command>,
-            a composite implicit coercion is automatically computed
-	    by Matita unless <emphasis role="bold">nocomposites</emphasis>
