SYNOPSIS
Iteratively breaks apart existential quantifications.
DESCRIPTION
If
M
has the structure
?x1 ... xn. t
then
strip_exists M
returns
([x1,...,xn],t)
. Note that
strip_exists(list_mk_exists(["x1";...;"xn"],"t"))
will not return
([x1,...,xn],t)
if
t
is an existential quantification.

Never fails.
