   Format: MarkdownItexAt the moment, this page uses the terminology "strict product", "strict pullback", etc. for strict 2-categorical limits. This seems unnecessarily confusing to me: "strict 2-product", "strict 2-pullback", etc. are not much longer and have the advantage that they are unambiguous: the terminology on this page conflicts with strict n-categorical limits. Would anyone object to my changing it?
