Theorem opabid

Description: The law of concretion. Special case of Theorem 9.5 of Quine p. 61. Usage of this theorem is discouraged because it depends on ax-13 . Use the weaker opabidw when possible. (Contributed by NM, 14-Apr-1995) (Proof shortened by Andrew Salmon, 25-Jul-2011) (New usage is discouraged.)
