Comment (by saliola):
Right now the code just wraps GAPs commands, but it can be made to do a
lot of things natively and resort to GAP for some of the more complicated
stuff. I was uncertain about how to implement a few things, but I thought
that this would be a good way to start the discussion. I look forward to
your review.
I've been reading more about GAP's implementation, and it heavily relies
on character tables. So we are probably going to want to implement those
as well. In fact, every character stores the whole character table of the
group (as UnderlyingCharacterTable). Should we stick closely to the GAP
implementation and do the same? Arguably, this is what we should do if we
want to use GAP for the heavy lifting, but I am open to suggestions.
