-  There is a configuration value to switch off the tacit eta-contraction (see
-  \ref{sec:printing}), but none for beta-contraction. So in certain cases you
-  might have to inspect the internal representation of a term, instead of
-  pretty printing it. Because of the alluded puzzlement that might arise from
-  this feature of Isabelle, it is certainly an acrane fact that you should
-  keep in mind about pretty-printing terms.

   @{ML Free} and written on the user level in blue colour) and
