      The center of a multiplication with unit is commutative and associative.

      This is not an instance as it forms an non-defeq diamond with Submonoid.toMonoid in the npow field.

          For a monoid, the units of the center inject into the center of the units. This is not an equivalence in general; one case when it is is for groups with zero, which is covered in centerUnitsEquivUnitsCenter.

            For an additive monoid, the units of the center inject into the center of the units.
