Not at all !!!

So that I hope you don't feel offended by my answers :-).

Sure... As you can see, there is already a lot of code in sage-combinat but it
needs some cleanup... I'm currently taking care of cleaning basic thing. And
that's why you keep receiving e-mail asking silly questions about naming
convention :-). The algebraic part will wait for Nicolas category framework to
be cleaned up. There will me a lot of move and refactoring in the code. This
will be a good moment to take also care of the doc. Actually right now I'm
pretty happy with thing not so well documented because during the cleanup, I
can change thing a lot, without breaking documented feature :-).

Cheers,

Florent
