 I think that it s certainly a mistake to call the "real" class `C_prime`
 and then proceed to use the shortened name `Cp` throughout the code.

 It shouldn't matter which one is the real class and which one is an alias.
 If it does, then that should be a bug with `BindableClass`. I'm fine with
 making `Cp` the "real" name, but I'd like at least `C_prime` to available
 since that is a natural python name (and perhaps deleting
 `kazhdan_lusztig` since it's ambiguous being the C and C' bases?).

 I have no preference on the sign and the string representation. Just for
 the record, you can input `C[s1*s2*s1]`.
