Theorem hbth 1807
Description: No variable is (effectively) free in a theorem.

This and later "hypothesis-building" lemmas, with labels starting "hb...", allow us to construct proofs of formulas of the form (𝜑 → ∀𝑥𝜑) from smaller formulas of this form. These are useful for constructing hypotheses that state "𝑥 is (effectively) not free in 𝜑". (Contributed by NM, 11-May-1993.) This hb* idiom is generally being replaced by the nf* idiom (see nfth 1805), but keeps its interest in some cases. (Revised by BJ, 23-Sep-2022.)
