Stan: you're right about the need to prove this (if using explicit substitution): look for the utility theorems exchanging [. / ]. with other symbols (quantifiers, operations). As said by Jim and Thierry, who are more experienced in proof building, implicit substitution might be easier to use. I think it is instructive to compare the details of both proving styles on a specific example (e.g. ralbidv, suggested by Thierry, would be analogous to exchanging [. / ]. with A.).
Still, I think adding what I called rspesbcd could prove useful (if it is not already in set.mm under another label; I cannot search now, but it probably is already somewhere).
