| Description: Extend wff definition to
include the membership connective between
       classes.
 
       For a general discussion of the theory of classes, see
       https://us.metamath.org/mpeuni/mmset.html#class.
 
       (The purpose of introducing         here is to allow us to
       express i.e.  "prove" the wel 1711 of
predicate calculus in terms of the
       wceq 1642 of set theory, so that we don't
"overload" the   connective
       with two syntax definitions.  This is done to prevent ambiguity that
       would complicate some Metamath parsers.  The class variables   and
         are
introduced temporarily for the purpose of this definition but
       otherwise not used in predicate calculus.  See df-clab 2340 for more
       information on the set theory usage of wcel 1710.)  |
