                                                          A category is an InitialMonoClass if the canonical morphism of an initial object is a monomorphism. In practice, this is most useful when given an arbitrary morphism out of the chosen initial object, see initial.mono_from. Given a terminal object, this is equivalent to the assumption that the unique morphism from initial to terminal is a monomorphism, which is the second of Freyd's axioms for an AT category.
