Theorem fvmptn

Description: This somewhat non-intuitive theorem tells us the value of its function is the empty set when the class C it would otherwise map to is a proper class. This is a technical lemma that can help eliminate redundant sethood antecedents otherwise required by fvmptg . (Contributed by NM, 21-Oct-2003) (Revised by Mario Carneiro, 9-Sep-2013)
