Comment (by ncohen):

 Hello !

 > 1) In the definition of quasi difference matrix, why do you require the
 group G to be Abelian? I saw that your definition coincides with the one
 from the handbook... but still. The question is just why. I don't mind the
 restriction since I do not know of any example on a non-commutative group.

 No other reason, I just took the def from the Handbook.

 > 2) You did not modify the doctests, is it on purpose

 Nonono it is a mistake, I first wrote those functions when we had no
 `is_quasi_difference_matrix` function and I had no other choice. It is
 fixed. Plus the '0' in the functions was actually a 1 and I had forgotten
 to update it.

 I also changed the layout of the QDM dictionary: as for other
 dictionaries, the 'k' is a key. It is easier this way, I learned that by
 writing my update to the Brouwer-van Rees construction (which I will
 update now).

 And after the Brouwer-van Rees construction is reviewed I will have to
 thing hard about a `find_*` function. The good news is that it should make
 many - disappear `:-P`
