Inverses of continuous families of equivalences #
For a family of equivalences from a compact space to a Hausdorff space, joint continuity of
forward evaluation implies joint continuity of inverse evaluation. This is the parametric form of
Mathlib's Continuous.continuous_symm_of_equiv_compact_to_t2; in particular it applies to
families of homeomorphisms. It allows inverse points to vary continuously without imposing a
topology on the type of equivalences itself. The proof uses Mathlib's compact-codomain
closed-graph criterion continuous_of_isClosed_graph.

Inverse evaluation is jointly continuous for a family of equivalences from a compact space to a Hausdorff space whose forward evaluation is jointly continuous. The parameter space is arbitrary.
