Comment (by vbraun):

 Is there an easy way to apply a `BranchingRule` to a representation (i.e.
 a `WeylCharacterRing.element_class`)? This seems like it would be one of
 the most common use cases:
 {{{
 sage: rule = branching_rule("A3", "C2", "symmetric")
 sage: rep = WeylCharacterRing("A3")(1,0,0,0)
 sage: rule.branch(rep)   # does not exist
 sage: rep.branch(rule)   # does not work
 sage: rule(rep)          # somewhat unexpected result
 [0, 0]
 }}}
 The only thing I can come up with is the slightly awkward
 {{{
 sage: rep.branch(WeylCharacterRing(rule.Stype()), rule=rule)
 C2(1,0)
 }}}
 The `BranchingRule.__call__` could check for the parent of the argument
 and simply return the branched representation.
