Theorem equs4

Description: Lemma used in proofs of implicit substitution properties. The converse requires either a disjoint variable condition ( sbalex ) or a nonfreeness hypothesis ( equs45f ). Usage of this theorem is discouraged because it depends on ax-13 . See equs4v for a weaker version requiring fewer axioms. (Contributed by NM, 10-May-1993) (Proof shortened by Mario Carneiro, 20-May-2014) (Proof shortened by Wolf Lammen, 5-Feb-2018) (New usage is discouraged.)
