Perhaps there are issues around this that will matter? Given that there 
are two formulations of each algebra, one like this:

zero: () -> $
succ: ($) -> $

and one like this:

+ ($,$) -> $

If one form is needed for inductive proofs and the other form for 
applied mathematics. Could Axiom hold both forms in a single 
category/domain and switch between them as needed?
