Theorem axextb 2711
Description: A bidirectional version of the axiom of extensionality. Although this theorem looks like a definition of equality, it requires the axiom of extensionality for its proof under our axiomatization. See the comments for ax-ext 2708 and df-cleq 2729. (Contributed by NM, 14-Nov-2008.)
