Pointwise left Kan extension along the Yoneda embedding #
Let A : C ⥤ D be a functor between locally w-small categories.
In this file, we give a criterion Presheaf.isPointwiseLeftKanExtensionAlongShrinkYoneda
to identify pointwise left Kan extensions of A along the Yoneda embedding
(i.e. given by a natural transformation α : A ⟶ shrinkYoneda.{w} ⋙ L
where L : (Cᵒᵖ ⥤ Type w) ⥤ D.): the natural transformation α should
be an isomorphism and L should preserves colimits (at least those
expressing presheaves as colimits of representable presheaves).
Under such assumptions, we show that L has a right adjoint
restrictedShrinkYoneda.{w} A : D ⥤ Cᵒᵖ ⥤ Type w,
see Presheaf.restrictedShrinkYonedaAdjunction.

Given functors A : C ⥤ D and L : (Cᵒᵖ ⥤ Type w) ⥤ D
A left extension given by a natural transformation α : A ⟶ shrinkYoneda.{w} ⋙ L
is a pointwise left Kan extension when α is an isomorphism and
L preserves suitable colimits (more precisely, the expression of any
presheaf P : Cᵒᵖ ⥤ Type w as a colimit of representable presheaves).
