Many of the functions in the DB structure return answers that involve
the class type, which is declared as
datatype class = Thm | Axm | Def
When occurring with th, an ML value of type thm,
Axm means that th has been asserted as an axiom; Def means that th
is a constant definition; and Thm means that th is a plain old theorem,
i.e,. not an axiom or a definition.
