We probably do not have to worry much about that, since the issue will
most likely disappear with Javier's work on conjugacy classes. If I
remember well, the plan is to be able to do, for any (finite) group G:
sage: G.conjugacy_classes()
sage: [ cc.representative() for cc in G.conjugacy_classes() ]
sage: [ cc.cardinality() for cc in G.conjugacy_classes() ]
sage: [ cc.cardinality() for cc in G.conjugacy_classes() ]
sage: [ list(cc) for cc in G.conjugacy_classes()
(which is, up to syntax details, about how it's done in GAP).
Cheers,
Nicolas
