Commutative-monoid enrichment

ID: commutative-monoid-enrichment

A commutative-monoid enrichment gives each hom-set a commutative monoid structure, with zero and addition, so that composition distributes over addition in both variables and annihilates zero. This is called a semi-additive structure in some conventions, including Cambridge Part III paper 119 of 2017. Other conventions reserve semi-additive category for categories with this enrichment and finite biproducts. A one-object category arising from a semiring has the enrichment without generally having those finite products.
