---------------------------------------------------------------------- strip_exists (boolSyntax) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- strip_exists : term -> term list * term SYNOPSIS Iteratively breaks apart existential quantifications. DESCRIBE If {M} has the structure {?x1 ... xn. t} then {strip_exists M} returns {([x1,...,xn],t)}. Note that strip_exists(list_mk_exists(["x1";...;"xn"],"t")) will not return {([x1,...,xn],t)} if {t} is an existential quantification. FAILURE Never fails. SEEALSO boolSyntax.list_mk_exists, boolSyntax.dest_exists. ----------------------------------------------------------------------
