Compare the explicit substitution version of finite induction (on ordinals)
http://us.metamath.org/mpeuni/findes.html
with the implicit substitution version
http://us.metamath.org/mpeuni/finds.html
Note that the implicit version has found more uses, although that may be 
partly because the implicit version has an additional hypothesis to give us 
a more useful class variable rather than a setvar variable in the 
conclusion.
