 Replying to [comment:3 ncohen]:
 > Heeeeeeeeereis the review !

 Thanks!

 > - Designs end with "Design", i.e. !DesarguesianProjectivePlaneDesign. I
 don't say that it is a good idea, but that we should change it for all of
 them or not at all. Plus Dima will complain.

 Ok.

 > - Why not use deprecated_function_alias for
 designs.!ProjectivePlaneDesign ?

 Because of the argument "type"... funny isn't it?

 > - You can do this instead
 >   {{{
 >   relabel = {x:i for i,x in enumerate(K)}
 >   Klist = relabel # Klist represent the set of elements of K
 >   }}}

 All right.

 > - `projective_plane_to_OA`: there is a function in bibd.py called
 `_relabel_BIBD` that takes a BIBD on n points as input (here it would be a
 projective plane) and relabels its elements in such a way that
 [[0,..,k-2,n],[k-1,...,2*k-2,n],...,[n-k-1,n-1]] are sets of the BIBD. So
 well. It actually does what you are doing : it relabels the BIBD such that
 when you remove all blocks containing n-1 you get a well-labelled TD.
 > - `OA_to_projective_plane` I implemented something VERY SIMILAR in
 #16279 but not equivalent :-)

 >   The OA is already well labelled. The BIBD is exactly the blocks from
 the OA plus the k groups union the new element, isn't it ? This should
 just be a deepcopy.

 I do not know what is a bibd and I did not have a look at it (except
 changing the call to !ProjectivePlaneDesign). If you feel like removing
 more code I am happy with that but I will not do it (if you do, wait until
 the other remarks are implemented).

 Nope: in a projective plane there should be a quadrilateral.
