Theorem nfcvb

Description: The "distinctor" expression -. A. x x = y , stating that x and y are not the same variable, can be written in terms of F/ in the obvious way. This theorem is not true in a one-element domain, because then F/_ x y and A. x x = y will both be true. Usage of this theorem is discouraged because it depends on ax-13 . (Contributed by Mario Carneiro, 8-Oct-2016) (New usage is discouraged.)
