Theorem el 5448

Description: Any set is an element of some other set. See elALT 5451 for a shorter proof using more axioms, and see elALT2 5375 for a proof that uses ax-9 2116 and ax-pow 5371 instead of ax-pr 5438. (Contributed by NM, 4-Jan-2002.) (Proof shortened by Andrew Salmon, 25-Jul-2011.) Use ax-pr 5438 instead of ax-9 2116 and ax-pow 5371. (Revised by BTernaryTau, 2-Dec-2024.)
