Immersions in the sense of differentials #
Given a map f : M → N between manifolds, we say f is an immersion in the sense of differentials
at x if and only if the mfderiv of f at x splits, i.e. admits a continuous left inverse.
(If N is finite-dimensional, this is equivalent to injectivity of the mfderiv.)
Under (relatively mild) conditions, this is equivalent to being an immersion at x.
This is not true in full generality; there are counterexamples involving manifolds with boundary.
This equivalence will be shown in a future PR.
IsDiffImmersionAt always behaves nicely under composition: future PRs will use the above
equivalence to prove that immersions compose (in nice situations).

We say a map f : M → M is an immersion at x in the sense of differentials
if mfderiv I I' f x splits, i.e. has a continuous left inverse.
In nice situations (but not always), this is equivalent to IsImmersionAt.
Please use IsImmersionAt in general.

Instances For
If f is an immersion at x and g is an immersion at y, then f × g is an immersion at
(x, y) (all in the sense of differentials).
If f is a local diffeomorphism at x, then f is an immersion at x
(in the sense of differentials).
A continuous linear equivalence is an immersion at every point (in the sense of differentials).
If f is an immersion at x, and g is an immersion at f x (both in the sense of
differentials), then g ∘ f is an immersion at x.
If g ∘ f is an immersion at x (of differentials), then (assuming f and g are
differentiable at x resp. f x), f is also an immersion at x.
If mfderiv I J f x is injective and N is finite-dimensional, then f is an immersion
(in the sense of differentials) at x.
