Description: Addition is an operation
on the complex numbers.  This deprecated axiom is
     provided for historical compatibility but is not a bona fide axiom for
     complex numbers (independent of set theory) since it cannot be interpreted
     as a first- or second-order statement (see
     https://us.metamath.org/downloads/schmidt-cnaxioms.pdf).
It may be
     deleted in the future and should be avoided for new theorems.  Instead,
     the less specific addcl 8004 should be used.  Note that uses of ax-addf 8001 can
     be eliminated by using the defined operation
                              in place of  , from which
     this axiom (with the defined operation in place of  ) follows as a
     theorem.
     This axiom is justified by Theorem axaddf 7935.  (New usage is discouraged.)
