Comment (by vbraun):
I'm looking at the code and its great. One worry that I have is that the
global `maximal_subgroups` can lead to confusion, as a user would probably
expect
{{{
sage: maximal_subgroups(SymmetricGroup(4))
}}}
to work as well. Also, global functions can't be discovered through tab
completion. Is there any reason for not making it a method like
{{{
sage: A4 = WeylCharacterRing('A4')
sage: A4.maximal_subgroups()
}}}
Also, it is nice to be able to print a table of subgroups but the most
useful thing in actual computations is to return objects that one can work
with. So maybe make `mode='get_rule'` the default?
