Description: An axiom scheme of
standard predicate calculus that emulates Axiom 5 of
       [Mendelson] p. 69.  The hypothesis
    can be thought of as
       emulating "  is not free in  ."  With this definition, the
       meaning of "not free" is less restrictive than the usual
textbook
       definition; for example   would not (for us) be free in    
  by
       nfequid 1678.  This theorem scheme can be proved as a
metatheorem of
       Mendelson's axiom system, even though it is slightly stronger than his
       Axiom 5.  (Contributed by NM, 22-Sep-1993.)  (Revised by Mario Carneiro,
