Theorem nn0indALT

Description: Principle of Mathematical Induction (inference schema) on nonnegative integers. The last four hypotheses give us the substitution instances we need; the first two are the basis and the induction step. Either nn0ind or nn0indALT may be used; see comment for nnind . (Contributed by NM, 28-Nov-2005) (New usage is discouraged.) (Proof modification is discouraged.)
