Mathlib.Algebra.Category.ModuleCat.Colimits

The category of R-modules has all colimits. #

From the existence of colimits in AddCommGrpCat, we deduce the existence of colimits in ModuleCat R. This way, we get for free that the functor forget₂ (ModuleCat R) AddCommGrpCat commutes with colimits.

Note that finite colimits can already be obtained from the instance Abelian (Module R).

TODO: In fact, in ModuleCat R there is a much nicer model of colimits as quotients of finitely supported functions, and we really should implement this as well.

The induced scalar multiplication on colimit (F ⋙ forget₂ _ AddCommGrpCat).
