Theorem nic-dfneg

Description: This theorem "defines" negation in terms of 'nand'. Analogous to nannot . In a pure (standalone) treatment of Nicod's axiom, this theorem would be changed to a definition ($a statement). (Contributed by NM, 11-Dec-2008) (Proof modification is discouraged.) (New usage is discouraged.)
