Comment (by tscrim):

 For the `CoxeterGroup` vs `WeylGroup`, you must have chevie installed so
 `CoxeterGroup` defaults to a permutation group implementation. Because of
 this, I can't test it, but it should be in the `CoxeterGroups` category
 and there should be a coercion between the different implementations of
 the same group.

 Actually on that note, instead of passing a Cartan type to the Iwahori-
 Hecke algebra constructor, perhaps we should pass a Coxeter group instead.

 A side note, this doesn't work for affine groups because the comparison of
 elements in the Coxeter groups does not always agree with the Bruhat
 order:
 {{{
 sage: G = CoxeterGroup(['A',2])
 sage: s1,s2 = G.gens()
 sage: G.one() < s1
 False
 sage: G.one() < s2
 False
 sage: G = CoxeterGroup(['A',2,1])
 sage: s0,s1,s2 = G.gens()
 sage: G.one() < s0
 False
 sage: G.one() < s1
 True
 sage: G.one() < s2
 True
 }}}
 I've attached small patch which (crudely/proof of concept) fixes this by
 using the Bruhat ordering for you to fold into your review patch.
