+(** This module states a limited form axiom of functional
+    extensionality which selects a canonical representative in each
+    class of extensional functions *)
+
+(** Its main interest is that it is the needed ingredient to provide
+    axiom of choice on setoids (a.k.a. axiom of extensional choice)
+    when combined with classical logic and axiom of (intensonal)
+    choice *)
+
+(** It provides extensionality of functions while still supporting (a
+    priori) an intensional interpretation of equality *)
