Comment (by darij):

 I've replaced NW by SE in the doc.

 About %timeit not seeing the advantages of UniqueRepresentation: I kind of
 expected it, but I don't really know how to measure the timing right (I
 asked something similar on sage-devel a week ago). Maybe this:
 {{{
 sage: %timeit [Poset({1: [2,3], 2: [4,5], 5: [6,7,8]}) for i in range(12)]
 1 loops, best of 3: 15.5 ms per loop
 sage: %timeit [Poset([[1,2],[1,3],[2,4],[2,5],[5,6],[5,7],[5,8]]) for i in
 range(12)]
 10 loops, best of 3: 21.2 ms per loop
 }}}
 I think that even when we speed up `Poset.__init__` -- *particularly* when
 we speed it up -- the difference between a dictionary and a list input
 will become more noticeable. I'm pretty sure that the dictionary is the
 form that makes it easier to compute the poset because lookup is faster.
 Or not?

 I don't think that separating the `orientation` variable is really
 separation of concerns -- there is much more similarities between SE and
 NW than between SE and NE (for example).
