New description:
This patch adds a function:
{{{
CoxeterGroup(cartan_type, implementation = "matrix" / "permutation")
}}}
to construct Coxeter groups. Whenever possible, the Coxeter group is
constructed as a permutation group, using data from GAP3/Chevie; otherwise
a Weyl group is returned, as a matrix group. An upcoming implementation is
by reduced words, using the Coxeter 3 package.
