Theorem dvelim 2010
Description: This theorem can be used to eliminate a distinct variable restriction on  x and  z and replace it with the "distinctor"  -.  A. x x  =  y as an antecedent.  ph normally has  z free and can be read  ph ( z ), and  ps substitutes  y for  z and can be read  ph ( y ). We don't require that 
x and  y be distinct: if they aren't, the distinctor will become false (in multiple-element domains of discourse) and "protect" the consequent.

To obtain a closed-theorem form of this inference, prefix the hypotheses with  A. x A. z, conjoin them, and apply dvelimdf 2009.

Other variants of this theorem are dvelimf 2008 (with no distinct variable restrictions) and dvelimALT 2003 (that avoids ax-10 1498). (Contributed by NM, 23-Nov-1994.)
