DB.datatype class

Datatype for classifying theory elements.

Many of the functions in the DB structure return answers that involve the class type, which is declared as

   datatype class = Thm | Axm | Def

When occurring with th, an ML value of type thm, Axm means that th has been asserted as an axiom; Def means that th is a constant definition; and Thm means that th is a plain old theorem, i.e,. not an axiom or a definition.
