   Eckmann-Hilton in their articles originally introducing the notion of internal group objects (here) have all the ingredients in hand to say “action object”, but it seems they don’t (?).

   I found the notion stated clearly and explicitly, albeit somewhat in passing, in:

   • Francis Borceux, George Janelidze, Gregory Maxwell Kelly, p. 8 of: Internal object actions, Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae (2005) Volume: 46, Issue: 2, page 235-255 (dml:249553)

   but if anyone has other/better references, let’s add them.

But this shows we need a table _[[categorical algebra -- contents]]_.
