Theorem ndxid

Description: A structure component extractor is defined by its own index. This theorem, together with strfv below, is useful for avoiding direct reference to the hard-coded numeric index in component extractor definitions, such as the 1 in df-base and the ; 1 0 in df-ple , making it easier to change should the need arise.

For example, we can refer to a specific poset with base set B and order relation L using { <. ( Basendx ) , B >. , <. ( lendx ) , L >. } rather than { <. 1 , B >. , <. ; 1 0 , L >. } . The latter, while shorter to state, requires revision if we later change ; 1 0 to some other number, and it may also be harder to remember.
