Polynomial functors #
This file defines polynomial functors and the W-type construction as a polynomial functor. (For the M-type construction, see pfunctor/M.lean.)
A polynomial functor P is given by a type A and a family B of types over A. P maps
any type α to a new type P α, which is defined as the sigma type Σ x, P.B x → α.
An element of P α is a pair ⟨a, f⟩, where a is an element of a type A and
f : B a → α. Think of a as the shape of the object and f as an index to the relevant
elements of α.

- P.instFunctorObj = { map := @PFunctor.map P, mapConst := fun {α β : Type ?u.15} => P.map ∘ Function.const β }
We prefer PFunctor.map to Functor.map because it is universe-polymorphic.
