@anshwad10 Yes, good point! I'll note that the statement I formalized is already stronger than what's in the HoTT Book in that it doesn't require I'm not sure whether I should actually add the even stronger statement that |

OK, I found an even cleaner way to prove the more general result that @anshwad10 suggested (when |

Very nice! |
This PR adds several general-purpose lemmas about set quotients:
p : A -> Bis a surjection into a set, then B is the quotient of A byx ~ y := p x = p y.p : A -> Bis a retraction into a set, then B is the quotient of A byx ~ y := p x = p y.Ais equivalent toA / _≡_.If you can think of any better names for these results, please let me know. :)
