Subject: [PATCH] Add \unit{} for the multiplicative identity element.

Technically we could pass off \identity{X} as the multiplicative
identity element in an algebraic structure, by using the "arrow"
interpretation in the right category. But let's not try to shoot
ourselves in the foot too hard, yeah?
