(** This module states the functional form of the axiom of choice over setoids, commonly called extensional axiom of choice [[Carlström04]], [[Martin-Löf05]]. This is obtained by a decomposition of the axiom into the following components:  - classical logic - relational axiom of choice - axiom of unique choice - a limited form of functional extensionality  Among other results, it entails: - proof irrelevance - choice of a representative in equivalence classes  [[Carlström04]] Jesper Carlström, EM + Ext_ + AC_int is equivalent to AC_ext, Mathematical Logic Quaterly, vol 50(3), pp 236-240, 2004.
