\DOC HAS_SIZE_CONV

\TYPE {HAS_SIZE_CONV : term -> thm}

\SYNOPSIS
Converts statement about set's size into existential enumeration.

\DESCRIBE
Given a term of the form {`s HAS_SIZE n`} for a numeral {n}, the conversion 
{HAS_SIZE_CONV} returns an equivalent form postulating the existence of {n} 
pairwise distinct elements that make up the set.

\FAILURE
Fails if applied to a term of the wrong form.

\EXAMPLE
{
  # HAS_SIZE_CONV `s HAS_SIZE 1`;;
  ...
  val it : thm = |- s HAS_SIZE 1 <=> (?a. s = {{a}})

  # HAS_SIZE_CONV `t HAS_SIZE 3`;;
  ...
  val it : thm =
    |- t HAS_SIZE 3 <=>
       (?a a' a''. ~(a' = a'') /\ ~(a = a') /\ ~(a = a'') /\ t = {{a, a', a''}})
}
