Theorem rmo2

Description: Alternate definition of restricted "at most one." Note that E* x e. A ph is not equivalent to E. y e. A A. x e. A ( ph -> x = y ) (in analogy to reu6 ); to see this, let A be the empty set. However, one direction of this pattern holds; see rmo2i . (Contributed by NM, 17-Jun-2017)
