+As a representable family is fiberwise equivalent to a `#!rzk Σ (x : A) , C x`,
+the total space of the family is equivalent to a coslice, and coslices have an
+initial object by `#!rzk is-initial-id-hom-is-segal`.

+The other direction is a bit longer. We follow the proof of RS17 9.10: given
+`#!rzk (a, u) : Σ (x : A) , C x` an initial object of `#!rzk Σ (x : A) , C x`,
+evaluating `#!rzk yon` at `#!rzk u : C a` yields a family of maps
+`#!rzk (x : A) → hom A a x → C x`. This is a contractible map as its fiber at
+`#!rzk (b : A, v : C b)` is equivalent to the hom type
+`#!rzk hom (Σ (x : A) , C x) (a, u) (b, v)` through the composite of
+`#!rzk covariant-uniqueness-curried` and `#!rzk axiom-choice` and it is thus an
+equivalence using `#!rzk is-equiv-is-contr-map`.
