Discrete categories

We define Discrete α as a structure containing a term a : α for any type α, and use this type alias to provide a SmallCategory instance whose only morphisms are the identities.

There is an annoying technical difficulty that it has turned out to be inconvenient to allow categories with morphisms living in Prop, so instead of defining X ⟶ Y in Discrete α as X = Y, one might define it as PLift (X = Y). In fact, to allow Discrete α to be a SmallCategory (i.e. with morphisms in the same universe as the objects), we actually define the hom type X ⟶ Y as ULift (PLift (X = Y)).

Discrete.functor promotes a function f : I → C (for any category C) to a functor Discrete.functor f : Discrete I ⥤ C.

Similarly, Discrete.natTrans and Discrete.natIso promote I-indexed families of morphisms, or I-indexed families of isomorphisms to natural transformations or natural isomorphism.

We show equivalences of types are the same as (categorical) equivalences of the corresponding discrete categories.

instance CategoryTheory.discreteCategory (α : Type u₁) : CategoryTheory.SmallCategory (CategoryTheory.Discrete α)

The "Discrete" category on a type, whose morphisms are equalities.

Because we do not allow morphisms in Prop (only in Type), somewhat annoyingly we have to define X ⟶ Y as ULift (PLift (X = Y)).
