Mathematical overview #
This file packages the Cramer-Wold theorem as a reusable family of measure and probability-law
extensionality lemmas. The Euclidean-space statements give the classical finite-dimensional
theorem. The Banach-space statements use all continuous linear maps to ℝ; the Hilbert-space
statements rewrite those projections as scalar products x ↦ ⟪t, x⟫_ℝ.
The proof is a direct characteristic-function argument: equality of all one-dimensional projected
laws gives equality of charFunDual, and Mathlib's Measure.ext_of_charFunDual recovers the
original finite measure.

If all continuous-linear real projections of two random variables are identically distributed, then the random variables themselves are identically distributed.
Identical distribution is equivalent to identical distribution of every continuous-linear real projection.
Equality of laws follows from identical distribution of all continuous-linear real projections of random variables with those laws.
