Clarification needed: do you mean something like

	the Fs are in 1-1 correspondence with the Gs
		 iff
	there is a 1-1 map of all the Fs into the Gs
	and
	there is a 1-1 map of all the Gs into the Fs	?

In that case, wouldn't the Schroeder-Bernstein theorem yield the existence
of a 1-1 map from the Fs onto the Gs ?
