 Using a new algorithm from the hells, I try to check my results with the
 current implementation of Moliens series... And I fall on this

 {{{
 sage: G = PermutationGroup([[(1,2,3,4)]])
 sage: S4 = SymmetricGroup(4)
 sage: secondary_enumeration_polynomial(G)
 q^5 + 2*q^4 + q^3 + q^2 + 1
 sage: G.molien_series() / S4.molien_series()
 x^5 + 2*x^4 + x^3 + x^2 + 1
 sage: G = PermutationGroup([[(1,2)],[(3,4)]])
 sage: secondary_enumeration_polynomial(G)
 q^4 + q^3 + 2*q^2 + q + 1
 sage: G.molien_series() / S4.molien_series()
 -x^5 - x^3 + x^2 + 1
 }}}

 `secondary_enumeration_polynomial` is my new function (which I hope,
 compute the degree of secondary invariants polynomial associated to the
 symmetric polynomial as primary invariants)... The quotient of the two
 series MUST BE a polynomial with positive coefficients since the theory
 says that for any subgroup `G` of `S_n`, the ring of invariant under the
 action of `G` is a free module over the ring of symmetric polynomials.
