Open quotient maps #
An open quotient map π : X → Y commutes with taking frontiers of saturated sets: if A is the
full preimage of its image, the frontier of π '' A is the image of the frontier of A. This is
what lets a decomposition of X into pieces meeting along their frontiers descend to a quotient.
Every homeomorphism is an open quotient map (IsHomeomorph.isOpenQuotientMap).
