I have two libgap objects, and I need to check that one is in the other:

        Fq=libgap.GF(4)
        W=libgap.FullRowSpace(Fq,4)
        B=libgap.Elements(libgap.Basis(W))
        L1 = libgap.Subspace(W,[B[0],B[2]])

Namely, given this, how does one do the Sage equivalent of GAP's 'B[0]-B[3] 
in L1' ?
I ended up doing 

        B[0]-B[3] in L1.Elements()

which does the right thing, but is in general dog-slow...
(the only way to fix this I can see is to patch (lib)GAP to provide a 
function version of 'in'
for vectorspace; it cannot be done at runtime as it has to be registered in 
src/sage/libs/gap/gap_functions.py)

Am I missing something obvious

the code above needs the trivial patch:
