group users to know what must be done ?
Since it is raised by `group_generators`, I think it is sufficient.

saying explicitly that `group_generators` should be implemented. Not let
them get away re-defining `gens()`.
I don't hold a strong opinion on the error message; I just prefer them to
be shorter and simple. If you want to expand on the error message, feel
free to do so and you can set a positive review on my behalf.
