If Mizar's type system wasn't broken (in the sense that
it doesn't allow types to be empty; well, maybe "broken"
is too strong a word, but the Mizar type system _is_
severly limited because of this) then one could define
"Element of" in the natural way.  And then this would be
a provable theorem (and then in fact it would be automatic
when one has requirement SUBSET, I guess.)
