Description

First off, thanks for the tool!

I was playing around with logitext tonight and came across some strange behavior when unfolding a right implication introduction inference rule instance where the antecedent of the implication formula had an occurrence of vacuous quantification. Here is an example: http://logitext.mit.edu/proving/.28forall+y.2C+P+.2D.3E+Q.29+.2D.3E+P+.2D.3E+Q

Research direction

Start by reproducing the behavior in the linked Logitext proof, focusing on unfolding a right implication introduction rule whose antecedent contains vacuous quantification. Compare the resulting inference with the expected treatment of the quantifier; done means the proof unfolds correctly for this example.
