Comment (by ncohen):

 Oh. I see. Well, `p.parent().domain()` probably makes more sense indeed.
 Then I would vote for removing `.domain()` too. My point is that you
 cannot give a meaning to `.list()` unless for "the subset of groups that
 are of personal interest to you" (i.e. those that act on integers) and for
 this reason I do not think this function should exist. I mean, of course
 you can define "list" but you cannot define what is of interest to you,
 i.e. that the output of `.list()` defines the permutation itself. This
 only works when all elements are integers, and there already is a class
 for that, i.e. permutations.

 How are `p.parent().domain()` and `p.domain()` different ? If it is only
 the order, there is nothing wrong in that. Those things are morally
 "sets", and only returned as tuples/lists for efficiency reasons I guess.
