\TYPE {NOT_ELIM : thm -> thm}
\SYNOPSIS
Transforms {|- ~t} into {|- t ==> F}.

\DESCRIBE
When applied to a theorem {A |- ~t}, the inference rule {NOT_ELIM} returns the
theorem {A |- t ==> F}.
{
A |- ~t
-------------- NOT_ELIM
A |- t ==> F
}
\FAILURE
Fails unless the theorem has a negated conclusion.
