Description: Axiom of Choice equivalent. By using restricted quantifiers, we can express the Axiom of Choice with a single explicit conjunction. (If you want to figure it out, the rewritten equivalent ac3 is easier to understand.) Note: aceq0 shows the logical equivalence to ax-ac . (New usage is discouraged.) (Contributed by NM, 18-Jul-1996)
