---------------------------------------------------------------------- EXISTS_DEL_CONV (unwindLib) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- EXISTS_DEL_CONV : conv SYNOPSIS Deletes existential quantifiers. LIBRARY unwind DESCRIBE {EXISTS_DEL_CONV "?x1 ... xn. t"} returns the theorem: |- (?x1 ... xn. t) = t provided {x1,...,xn} are not free in {t}. FAILURE Fails if any of the {x}’s appear free in {t}. The function does not perform a partial deletion; for example, if {x1} and {x2} do not appear free in {t} but {x3} does, the function will fail; it will not return: |- ?x1 ... xn. t = ?x3 ... xn. t SEEALSO unwindLib.EXISTS_DEL1_CONV, unwindLib.PRUNE_CONV. ----------------------------------------------------------------------
