Preservation and reflection of (co)limits.

There are various distinct notions of "preserving limits". The one we aim to capture here is: A functor F : C → D "preserves limits" if it sends every limit cone in C to a limit cone in D. Informally, F preserves all the limits which exist in C.

Note that:

In order to be able to express the property of preserving limits of a certain form, we say that a functor F preserves the limit of a diagram K if F sends every limit cone on K to a limit cone. This is vacuously satisfied when K does not admit a limit, which is consistent with the above definition of "preserves limits".
