Naturality in relative simplicial homology #
For a pair of simplicial sets P, given by a monomorphism X ⟶ Y, Mathlib constructs the short
exact sequence of chain complexes 0 ⟶ C(X) ⟶ C(Y) ⟶ C(Y, X) ⟶ 0 and the connecting morphism
Hₙ(Y, X) ⟶ Hₘ(X) for m + 1 = n. This file shows that a morphism of pairs induces a morphism
of these short exact sequences, and deduces that the connecting morphism is natural, so that it
forms a natural transformation SSetPair.homologyδNatTrans.
It also records that the quotient maps from ambient to relative homology are natural in the pair:
they commute with morphisms of simplicial-set pairs. The short exact sequence of chain complexes
of a pair is split in each degree, because the map C(X) ⟶ C(Y) is induced by the injection of
the n-simplices of X into those of Y. A morphism of pairs which is a quasi-isomorphism on
subcomplexes and ambient simplicial sets is a quasi-isomorphism on relative chains
(SSetPair.quasiIso_chainComplexMap), hence induces isomorphisms on relative homology.

In each degree, the map from the chains of the subobject of a pair of simplicial sets to the chains of the ambient simplicial set is a split monomorphism.
The connecting morphism of the long exact sequence of a pair of simplicial sets is natural:

Hₙ(P) ⟶ Hₘ(P.left) and Hₙ(P') ⟶ Hₘ(P'.left) and the maps induced by f commutes.
