Short exact sequences in abelian categories #

In an abelian category, a left-split or right-split short exact sequence admits a splitting.
To construct a splitting of A -f⟶ B -g⟶ C it suffices to supply
a morphism i : B ⟶ A ⊞ C such that f ≫ i is the canonical map biprod.inl : A ⟶ A ⊞ C and
i ≫ q = g, where q is the canonical map biprod.snd : A ⊞ C ⟶ C,
together with proofs that f is mono and g is epi.
The morphism i is then automatically an isomorphism.
