 `forall x : α, β x` or `∀ x : α, β x` or `Π x : α, β x`.
 The first two were intended to be used for writing propositions, and the latter for writing code.
 Although the notation `Π x : α, β x` has historical significance, we have removed it from Lean 4 because
-it is awkward to use and often confuses new users. We can still write `forall (x : α), β x` and `∀ (x : α), β x`,
-but the parentheses are not optional when the type is provided explicitly.
