2.1.20  Indexed union and intersection
Syntax	ciun 3898	Extend class notation to include indexed union. Note: Historically (prior to 21-Oct-2005), set.mm used the notation U. x e. A B, with the same union symbol as cuni 3821. While that syntax was unambiguous, it did not allow for LALR parsing of the syntax constructions in set.mm. The new syntax uses as distinguished symbol U_ instead of U. and does allow LALR parsing. Thanks to Peter Backes for suggesting this change.
class U_ x e. A B
Syntax	ciin 3899	Extend class notation to include indexed intersection. Note: Historically (prior to 21-Oct-2005), set.mm used the notation |^| x e. A B, with the same intersection symbol as cint 3856. Although that syntax was unambiguous, it did not allow for LALR parsing of the syntax constructions in set.mm. The new syntax uses a distinguished symbol |^|_ instead of |^| and does allow LALR parsing. Thanks to Peter Backes for suggesting this change.
class |^|_ x e. A B
Definition	df-iun 3900*	Define indexed union. Definition indexed union in [Stoll] p. 45. In most applications, A is independent of x (although this is not required by the definition), and B depends on x i.e. can be read informally as B ( x ). We call x the index, A the index set, and B the indexed set. In most books, x e. A is written as a subscript or underneath a union symbol U.. We use a special union symbol U_ to make it easier to distinguish from plain class union. In many theorems, you will see that x and A are in the same disjoint variable group (meaning A cannot depend on x) and that B and x do not share a disjoint variable group (meaning that can be thought of as B ( x ) i.e. can be substituted with a class expression containing x). An alternate definition tying indexed union to ordinary union is dfiun2 3932. Theorem uniiun 3952 provides a definition of ordinary union in terms of indexed union. (Contributed by NM, 27-Jun-1998.)
