+Use [`is_parameter`](@ref) and [`ParameterRef`](@ref) to check if the variable
+is a parameter and to get the constraint that makes the variable a parameter.

+```jldoctest nonlinear_parameters
+julia> is_parameter(p[1])

+julia> is_parameter(x)
+false

 ### Limitations
 
 Parameters are implemented as decision variables belonging to the [`Parameter`](@ref)
