Reflecting indecomposability through a functor #

A functor preserving zero morphisms and binary biproducts reflects indecomposability at an object if it reflects zero objects on that object's retracts. This local condition is useful for quotient functors: a quotient can kill many objects while killing no nonzero summand of the particular object under consideration.

A functor preserving zero morphisms and binary biproducts reflects indecomposability at X if every retract of X whose image is zero is itself zero.
