For a precoherent category, any sieve that contains an EffectiveEpiFamily is a sieve of the coherent topology. Note: This is one direction of mem_sieves_iff_hasEffectiveEpiFamily, but is needed for the proof.

Effective epi families in a precoherent category are transitive, in the sense that an EffectiveEpiFamily and an EffectiveEpiFamily over each member, the composition is an EffectiveEpiFamily. Note: The finiteness condition is an artifact of the proof and is probably unnecessary.

A sieve belongs to the coherent topology if and only if it contains a finite EffectiveEpiFamily.
