Can anyone provide examples of countable sets with impredicative
definitions and apparently no alternative predicative definitions? Just
to clarify, my intended notion of countable in relation to a set refers
to the existence of a surjection from the natural numbers (or from the
natural numbers excluding zero) to that set.
