Sifted categories #

A category C is sifted if C is nonempty and the diagonal functor C ⥤ C × C is final. Sifted categories can be characterized as those such that the colimit functor (C ⥤ Type) ⥤ Type preserves finite products.

      In particular a category is sifted iff and only if it is so when viewed as a small category
