+\begin{warn}
+A common mistake when writing definitions is to introduce extra free
+variables on the right-hand side as in the following fictitious definition:
+@{term[display,quotes]"prime(p) == 1 < p & (m dvd p --> (m=1 | m=p))"}
 where @{text"dvd"} means ``divides''.
 Isabelle rejects this ``definition'' because of the extra @{term"m"} on the
 right-hand side, which would introduce an inconsistency (why?). What you
 should have written is
+@{term[display,quotes]"prime(p) == 1 < p & (!m. m dvd p --> (m=1 | m=p))"}
