Mathlib.CategoryTheory.Monoidal.OfHasFiniteProducts

The natural monoidal structure on any category with finite (co)products. #

A category with a monoidal structure provided in this way is sometimes called a (co)cartesian category, although this is also sometimes used to mean a finitely complete category. (See https://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/cartesian+category.)

As this works with either products or coproducts, and sometimes we want to think of a different monoidal structure entirely, we don't set up either construct as an instance.

TODO #

Replace monoidalOfHasFiniteProducts and symmetricOfHasFiniteProducts with CartesianMonoidalCategory.ofHasFiniteProducts.

A category with a terminal object and binary products has a natural monoidal structure.
