Theorem cvjust 2813
Description: Every set is a class. Proposition 4.9 of [TakeutiZaring] p. 13. This theorem shows that a setvar variable can be expressed as a class abstraction. This provides a motivation for the class syntax construction cv 1527, which allows us to substitute a setvar variable for a class variable. See also cab 2796 and df-clab 2797. Note that this is not a rigorous justification, because cv 1527 is used as part of the proof of this theorem, but a careful argument can be made outside of the formalism of Metamath, for example as is done in Chapter 4 of Takeuti and Zaring. See also the discussion under the definition of class in [Jech] p. 4 showing that "Every set can be considered to be a class." See abid1 2953 for the version of cvjust 2813 extended to classes.
