+===== Refinement overrides =====
+Sometimes a refinement body needs to [[language:impl#overrides|override]] types. To support this, refinement bodies can be accompanied by refinement overrides. These are overrides that are only applied when the refinement is used.
+The syntax for providing refinement overrides is below:
+<code act>
+refine<2>  +{ e1of2 l; } {
+       inst1 i1;
+       ...
+ }

+This will apply the refinement override for ''l'' when this particular refinement body is selected.
