Initial and terminal objects in a category. #
In this file we define the predicates IsTerminal and IsInitial as well as the class
InitialMonoClass.
The classes HasTerminal and HasInitial and the associated notations for terminal and initial
objects are defined in Terminal.lean.

A category is an InitialMonoClass if the canonical morphism of an initial object is a
monomorphism. In practice, this is most useful when given an arbitrary morphism out of the chosen
initial object, see initial.mono_from.
Given a terminal object, this is equivalent to the assumption that the unique morphism from initial
to terminal is a monomorphism, which is the second of Freyd's axioms for an AT category.
TODO: This is a condition satisfied by categories with zero objects and morphisms.
The map from the (any as stated) initial object to any other object is a monomorphism
Instances
To show a category is an InitialMonoClass it suffices to give an initial object such that
every morphism out of it is a monomorphism.
