Comment (by cremona):
I am worried by the documentation sentence
{{{
To obtain a list of generators, use E.gens() after this.
}}}
since the only situation in which {{{E.gens()}}} with return points found
by this function are when the lower and upper rank bounds agree *and* the
list of points returned has that number of points in it. Otherwise, gens
are not cached and a call to E.gens() will use {{{mwrank}}}. So it is a
bit misleading?
