This is extracted from @TwoFX's projective branch, with some slight tweaks (make things Prop valued classes), and documentation.

This is just the definition of projective and enough_projectives, with no attempt to construct projective resolutions. I want this in place because constructing projective resolutions will hopefully be a good test of experiments with chain complexes.

If someone can come up with better names than over, left, π and d, I'd be very happy to hear them.

If someone can come up with better names than over, left, π and d, I'd be very happy to hear them.

At first I was dubious, but when you think over them written out as projective.over X, projective.π X and projective.left f they seem much more understandable. projective.d is still unhelpful. :-)

I'm not super familiar with projective objects in abelian categories but this looks good to me - any comments @jcommelin?

It is occasionally useful to consider variants of projectivity where we require factoring through some class of morphisms other than epimorphisms. Perhaps it would be nice to have some sort of projective_for such that the current definition of projectivity is recovered as projective_for epi. I'm not sure how easy it is to set up something like this with very little boilerplate, so I don't mind merging the current PR and experimenting with generalisations later.

I agree that projective_for will probably become useful at some point in the future.
