I think you have misunderstood my complaint, as it was about the function returning much more specific thing than asked. You hijack a generic name for something specific. I tried to explain this by an analogy with misnamed NextPrimePower, actually returning NextPrimePower_OF_TWO, which is obviously a better name. One unpleasant side effect of your present design is that it is harder than necessary to extend to cover other projective planes, as you hijack the generic name for no good reason, except your convenience :) > > Nathann -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
