   Format: MarkdownItexI added the observation to [[M-category]] that $\mathcal{M}$ is a Grothendieck quasitopos (which is something that had never actually occurred to me before yesterday). In fact it can be described as the category of $\neg \neg$-separated presheaves on $\mathbf{2} = (0 \to 1)$.

   Format: MarkdownItexTechnical note: When you link to a particular section of an nLab page, you should give that section a permanent name (in the HTML), because the automatic section names may change. So `#### Example: $Subset$` becomes `#### Example: $Subset$ {#Subset}` (for example).

   Format: MarkdownItexThanks, Mike! And yes, probably. (Only at length am I getting better at instinctively knowing whether a category is a quasitopos.) And thanks very much, Toby -- I forgot to do that.
