Theorem dfaiota3

Description: Alternate definition of iota' : this is to df-aiota what dfiota4 is to df-iota . operation using the if operator. It is simpler than df-aiota and uses no dummy variables, so it would be the preferred definition if iota' becomes the description binder used in set.mm. (Contributed by BJ, 31-Aug-2024)
