Theorem nfeu

Description: Bound-variable hypothesis builder for the unique existential quantifier. Note that x and y need not be disjoint. Usage of this theorem is discouraged because it depends on ax-13 . Use the weaker nfeuw when possible. (Contributed by NM, 8-Mar-1995) (Revised by Mario Carneiro, 7-Oct-2016) (New usage is discouraged.)
