Definition df-sup 4574
Description: Define the supremum of class B. It is meaningful when R is a relation that strictly orders A and when the supremum exists. For example, R could be 'less than', A could be the set of real numbers, and B could be the set of all positive reals whose square is less than 2; in this case the supremum is defined as the square root of 2 per sqrval 6671.

We will also use this notation for "infimum" by replacing R with `'R.
