| Description: Syllogism deduction.
 
       Notice that syld 45 has the same form as syl 14 with
𝜑
added in front
       of each hypothesis and conclusion.  When all theorems referenced in a
       proof are converted in this way, we can replace 𝜑 with a hypothesis
       of the proof, allowing the hypothesis to be eliminated with id 19 and
       become an antecedent.  The Deduction Theorem for propositional calculus,
       e.g., Theorem 3 in [Margaris] p. 56,
tells us that this procedure is
       always possible.  (Contributed by NM, 5-Aug-1993.)  (Proof shortened by
