Let's remind ourselves of some principles:
- * composition of morphisms, functors, and natural compositions is associative
- * functors "distribute over composition", that is for any morphisms f and g in F's source category: F(g ∘ f) = F(g) ∘ F(f)
- * if η is a natural transformation from F to G, then for every f:C1→C2 in F and G's source category C: η[C2] ∘ F(f) = G(f) ∘ η[C1].
