Theorem wl-dfcleq 37790
Description: The defining characterization of class equality. It is proved, over Tarski's FOL, from the axiom of (set) extensionality (ax-ext 2709) and the definition of class equality (df-cleq 2729). Its forward implication is called "class extensionality". Remark: the proof uses axextb 2712 to prove also the hypothesis of df-cleq 2729 that is a degenerate instance, but it could be proved also from minimal propositional calculus and { ax-gen 1797, equid 2014 }. (Contributed by NM, 15-Sep-1993.) (Revised by BJ, 24-Jun-2019.)
