allow concrete syntax for local entities within a proof body, either via regular mixfix annotations to 'fix' etc. or the separate 'write' command;

 * Type constructors admit general mixfix syntax, not just infix.
 
+* Concrete syntax may be attached to local entities without a proof
+body, too.  This works via regular mixfix annotations for 'fix',
+'def', 'obtain' etc. or via the explicit 'write' command, which is
+similar to the 'notation' command in theory specifications.
+
 * Use of cumulative prems via "!" in some proof methods has been
 discontinued (legacy feature).
