Description: A necessary and sufficient condition for a Kuratowski ordered pair to be a relation. (Contributed by NM, 3-Jun-2008) A relation is a class of ordered pairs, so the fact that an ordered pair may sometimes be itself a relation is an "accident" depending on the specific encoding of ordered pairs as classes (in set.mm, the Kuratowski encoding). A more meaningful statement is relsnopg , as funsng is to funop . (New usage is discouraged.)
