Library Coq.Logic.ClassicalChoice
This file provides classical logic and functional choice; this
especially provides both indefinite descriptions and choice functions
but this is weaker than providing epsilon operator and classical logic
as the indefinite descriptions provided by the axiom of choice can
be used only in a propositional context (especially, they cannot
be used to build choice functions outside the scope of a theorem
proof)
This file extends ClassicalUniqueChoice.v with full choice.
As ClassicalUniqueChoice.v, it implies the double-negation of
excluded-middle in Set and leads to a classical world populated
with non computable functions. Especially it conflicts with the
impredicativity of Set, knowing that true<>false in Set.

Definition subset (U:Type) (P Q:U->Prop) : Prop := forall x, P x -> Q x.
Theorem singleton_choice :
forall (A : Type) (P : A->Prop),
(exists x : A, P x) -> exists P' : A->Prop, subset P' P /\ exists! x, P' x.
Theorem choice :
forall (A B : Type) (R : A->B->Prop),
(forall x : A, exists y : B, R x y) ->
exists f : A->B, (forall x : A, R x (f x)).
