multiplicative goups

Comment (by cremona):
I have made more progress in my adaptation of the existing Abelian Groups
code (which uses additive representation internally, but multiplicative
notation for input and output) work for additive group notation (for input
and output). I'll post a patch when I have finished doing doctests --
everything I wanted to be able to do now works, but for every single
function I need to add additive examples as well as the existing
multiplicative ones).
For my purposes, my patch will work fine, for example with elliptic curve
groups which are naturally additive, and is preferable to what Robert has
implemented here. But it is a very different approach to the one here,
which uses the coercion machinery which I am pretty sure I will never
understand.
