 I think either name would be fine. `SemimonomialTransformationGroup`
 sounds clearer to me since it makes it clear that we are talking about
 groups acting in a certain way. Though if people in your field always talk
 about complete monomial groups then the former might be better, I don't
 know. Take your pick ;-)

 n-dimensional binary vector space.

 Oh, good point. I was somehow assuming that there is at least one non-
 trivial unit.
