Even more useful - perhaps as something to add to the documentation - would 
be a nice example of making a *class* out of this so that one could 
actually (right-or-left-)multiply things user-created by elements of S4 in 
a correct manner.  In this case maybe we actually have this built in for 
permutations of sets?
