The monoidal category of bimodules over a monoid object #
Let R be a monoid object in a monoidal category C with coequalizers, such that tensoring on
either side preserves (universe-0 small) colimits. Mathlib's bicategory Bimod.monBicategory
of monoids and bimodules makes the category Bimod R R of endomorphisms of R a monoidal
category, under the tensor product of bimodules Bimod.tensorBimod. This file records that
instance and describes its structure maps on representatives in the tensor products of the
underlying objects.
Main definitions #

Bimod.π_whiskerLeft_hom,Bimod.π_whiskerRight_hom,Bimod.π_associator_hom_hom,Bimod.π_leftUnitor_hom_homandBimod.π_rightUnitor_hom_hom: the monoidal structure on representatives.Bimod.tensorBimod_actRight_eq: in a braided category, the tensor product of bimodules whose right actions are their left actions moved through the braiding again has this property.
Bimodules over a monoid object R form a monoidal category under the tensor product of
bimodules, with unit the regular bimodule: the category of endomorphisms of R in Mathlib's
bicategory Bimod.monBicategory.
Whiskering on the left acts on representatives in P.X ⊗ Q.X by whiskering on the left.

The associator of bimodules on representatives in P.X ⊗ Q.X ⊗ L.X is the associator of the
underlying objects.
The associator of bimodules on representatives in P.X ⊗ Q.X ⊗ L.X is the associator of the

The left unitor of bimodules is induced by the left action.
The left unitor of bimodules is induced by the left action.
The right unitor of bimodules is induced by the right action.
The right unitor of bimodules is induced by the right action.
If the right actions of two R-R-bimodules are their left actions precomposed with the
inverse braiding, then so is the right action of their tensor product.
