Existence of "big" colimits in the category of additive commutative groups #
If F : J ⥤ AddCommGrp.{w} is a functor, we show that F admits a colimit if and only
if Colimits.Quot F (the quotient of the direct sum of the commutative groups F.obj j
by the relations given by the morphisms in the diagram) is w-small.

If c is a cocone of F such that Quot.desc F c is bijective, then c is a colimit
cocone of F.
