I think that some of the names can still be improved a bit.

I explicitly defined the functor which the cocone is for, and added a comment saying that everything in the image is representable (I was working on something which uses this and I found it useful to name the functor anyway). |
I've never properly learned Kan extensions. Is this a Kan extension, or is it related to that? If it is a special case, I think we should point that out in a comment. |
Good point, this is exactly the Yoneda extension. I was hesitant to explicitly call it by this name since I haven't yet shown (in this PR at least) the last point in the list of properties there, but it seems like it's still the Kan extension anyway. I'll add comments for this as well as the link. |

@semorrison I'm happy with this. LGTM.
Thanks 🎉 bors merge |
Show every presheaf (on a small category) is a colimit of representables, and some related results. Suggestions for better names more than welcome.
