(** * AC_rel + AC! = AC_fun  We show that the functional formulation of the axiom of Choice (usual formulation in type theory) is equivalent to its relational formulation (only formulation of set theory) + functional relation reification (aka axiom of unique choice, or, principle of (parametric) definite descriptions) *)

(**********************************************************************)
(** * Connection between the guarded, non guarded and omniscient choices *)

(** * Derivability of choice for decidable relations with well-ordered codomain *)
(** Countable codomains, such as [nat], can be equipped with a well-order, which implies the existence of a least element on inhabited decidable subsets. As a consequence, the relational form of the axiom of choice is derivable on [nat] for decidable relations.  We show instead that functional relation reification and the functional form of the axiom of choice are equivalent on decidable relation with [nat] as codomain *)
