Re: [Core](PRD] safeness

Discharging action-842 ...

As far as I can see this approach does work for Core and is a simpler 
exposition than the current one since it avoids the explicit 
construction of the disjunction tree. Nice. I'd be happy to shift to 
this definition.

[I did worry the lack of an explicit notion of variable equivalence 
classes but on reflection I can see that this approach handles the 
equivalence chains correctly.]

I thought there was an editorial problem with the definition of bound 
for an existential formula but you seem to have already corrected that 
on the wiki.

Trivial editorial: there's a spurious extra ", ," in the 3rd bullet of 
the definition of boundedness in conjunctions.
