Theorem axext4 2594
Description: A bidirectional version of Extensionality. Although this theorem "looks" like it is just a definition of equality, it requires the Axiom of Extensionality for its proof under our axiomatization. See the comments for ax-ext 2590 and df-cleq 2603. (Contributed by NM, 14-Nov-2008.)
