Reducing a module modulo an element of the ring #
Given a commutative ring R and an element r : R, the association
M ↦ M ⧸ rM extends to a functor on the category of R-modules. This functor
is isomorphic to the functor of tensoring by R ⧸ (r) on either side, but can
be more convenient to work with since we can work with quotient types instead
of fiddling with simple tensors.

module, commutative algebra
An abbreviation for M⧸rM that keeps us from having to write
(⊤ : Submodule R M) over and over to satisfy the typechecker.

Let R be a commutative ring, M be an R-module, S be an R-algebra, then
S ⊗[R] (M/rM) is isomorphic to (S ⊗[R] M)⧸r(S ⊗[R] M) as S-modules.
