Theorem altopth

Description: The alternate ordered pair theorem. If two alternate ordered pairs are equal, their first elements are equal and their second elements are equal. Note that C and D are not required to be a set due to a peculiarity of our specific ordered pair definition, as opposed to the regular ordered pairs used here, which (as in opth ), requires D to be a set.
