Differentiability of coordinates for quotients by varying ranges #
A continuous family of split injections admits a single complementary subspace on a neighbourhood of each parameter. In these coordinates, the quotient by the moving range has a fixed model fibre, and its coordinate operator has the same differentiability as the original family. Coordinate changes inherit this regularity as well.
Applied to the differential of an immersion in manifold charts, this supplies
local models for intrinsic normal fibres without choosing a Riemannian metric.
The fibre equivalence is ContinuousLinearMap.quotientRangeEquiv; differentiability is
expressed on ambient representatives so it does not presuppose a differentiable structure
on the total quotient bundle.

Complementary coordinate operators inherit the differentiability of a varying range parametrization at every parameter where the fixed complement is valid.
Complementary coordinate operators are C^n at valid parameters for a C^n family.
Complementary coordinates are C^n throughout an invertibility domain for a C^n family.
A C^n family of operators which is split injective at one parameter admits C^n
quotient coordinates with a fixed closed model fibre near that parameter. The neighbourhood
is contained in the original open parameter domain.
