Theorem eximal 1815
Description: An equivalence between an implication with an existentially quantified antecedent and an implication with a universally quantified consequent. An interesting case is when the same formula is substituted for both 𝜑 and 𝜓, since then both implications express a type of nonfreeness. See also alimex 1864. (Contributed by BJ, 12-May-2019.)
