Dear Dima, dear Sage devs,
Dan Bump recently raised the issue that the `lattice` method for Weyl
groups is badly named. I agree, but the issue is more general. Hence,
here is a call for good names.
Let P be a parent endowed with a natural action (or representation) on
a space `E`. For example:
- P is a group of permutations of E = {2,4,9,7}
- P is an algebra of matrices, acting on a vector space E
- P is a monoid of functions from E = {a,b,c} to itself
- P = End(E)
What should be the name of the method of P returning E ?
- P.domain() ?
- P.natural_representation() ?
- P.natural_representation_space() ?
- P.natural_module() ?
- P.action_set() ?
- something else?
My question goes in particular to the GAP experts like Dima: what
convention is used there?
Thanks for your feedback and votes!
Cheers,
Nicolas
