I want to use sage to investigate the action of a group on a
particular "set" which is being permuted. Specifically I want to look
at the orbits of particular objects under the action of the group.

The group I'm looking at is the symmetry group of the square:

G=DihedralGroup(4)

I want to apply this group to the set of four indices "ijkl" and see
the generated orbits for particular values of ijkl. These indices are
effectively labels for the corners of the square.

For example, the indices "1111" have the orbit "1111" under the group,
whereas the indices "1112" should have the orbit
"1112,1121,1211,2111", under the action.

What's the best way to see this kind of behaviour for arbitrary
indices using sage?
