Adjunctions as Kan extensions #
We show that adjunctions are realized as Kan extensions or Kan lifts.
We also show that a left adjoint commutes with a left Kan extension. Under the assumption that
IsLeftAdjoint h, the isomorphism f⁺ (g ≫ h) ≅ f⁺ g ≫ h can be accessed by
Lan.CommuteWith.lanCompIso f g h.

At the moment, the results are stated for left Kan extensions and left Kan lifts. We can prove the similar results for right Kan extensions and right Kan lifts.
For an adjunction f ⊣ u, u is an absolute left Kan extension of the identity along f.
The unit of this Kan extension is given by the unit of the adjunction.

A left Kan extension t of the identity along f that commutes with f, in the sense that
t.whisker f is a left Kan extension, is a right adjoint to f. The unit of this adjoint is
given by the unit of the Kan extension.
