      The center of a multiplication with unit is commutative and associative.

      This is not an instance as it forms an non-defeq diamond with Submonoid.toMonoid in the npow field.

          The center of a monoid acts commutatively on that monoid.

          The center of a monoid acts commutatively on that monoid.

          For a monoid, the units of the center inject into the center of the units. This is not an equivalence in general; one case when it is is for groups with zero, which is covered in centerUnitsEquivUnitsCenter.
