Theorem als-no-surprise

Description: Demonstrate that there is never a "surprise" when using the allsome quantifier, that is, it is never possible for the consequent to be both always true and always false. This uses the definition of df-als ; the proof itself builds on alimp-no-surprise . For a contrast, see alimp-surprise . (Contributed by David A. Wheeler, 27-Oct-2018)
