The category of types with partial functions

This defines PartialFun, the category of types equipped with partial functions.

This category is classically equivalent to the category of pointed types. The reason it doesn't hold constructively stems from the difference between Part and Option. Both can model partial functions, but the latter forces a decidable domain.

Precisely, PartialFunToPointed turns a partial function α →. β into a function Option α → Option β by sending to none the undefined values (and none to none). But being defined is (generally) undecidable while being sent to none is decidable. So it can't be constructive.

def PartialFun.Iso.mk {α β : PartialFun} (e : α ≃ β) : α ≅ β

Constructs a partial function isomorphism between types from an equivalence between them.

def typeToPartialFun : CategoryTheory.Functor (Type u) PartialFun

The forgetful functor from Type to PartialFun which forgets that the maps are total.

def pointedToPartialFun : CategoryTheory.Functor Pointed PartialFun

The functor which deletes the point of a pointed type. In return, this makes the maps partial. This is the computable part of the equivalence PartialFunEquivPointed.

noncomputable def partialFunToPointed : CategoryTheory.Functor PartialFun Pointed

The functor which maps undefined values to a new point. This makes the maps total and creates pointed types. This is the noncomputable part of the equivalence PartialFunEquivPointed. It can't be computable because = Option.none is decidable while the domain of a general Part isn't.
