Definition df-fin

Description: Define the (proper) class of all finite sets. Similar to Definition 10.29 of TakeutiZaring p. 91, whose "Fin(a)" corresponds to our " a e. Fin ". This definition is meaningful whether or not we accept the Axiom of Infinity ax-inf2 . If we accept Infinity, we can also express A e. Fin by A ~< _om (theorem isfinite .)
