Definition df-cnv 3176
Description: Define the converse of a class. Definition 9.12 of [Quine] p. 64. We use Quine's breve accent (smile) notation. Like Quine, we use it as a prefix, which eliminates the need for parentheses. Many authors use the postfix superscript "to the minus one." "Converse" is Quine's terminology; some authors call it "inverse," especially when the argument is a function.
