Exact colimits of presheaves of modules #
Colimits of presheaves of modules of a shape K are exact when colimits of that shape are exact
in abelian groups. The forgetful functor to presheaves of abelian groups preserves colimits and
finite limits, and it reflects finite limits: being faithful it reflects monomorphisms and
epimorphisms, so out of the balanced category of presheaves of modules it reflects isomorphisms,
and a finite-limit-preserving functor that reflects isomorphisms reflects finite limits.
Exactness therefore pulls back along it from the functor category, where colimits are exact
objectwise (HasExactColimitsOfShape.domain_of_functor). In particular presheaves of modules
satisfy AB4 and AB5 in the universes where abelian groups do.

Colimits of shape K of presheaves of modules are exact when they are in abelian groups,
pulled back along the forgetful functor to presheaves of abelian groups.
Presheaves of modules satisfy AB4 when abelian groups do.
Presheaves of modules satisfy AB5 when abelian groups do.
