Comment(by jhpalmieri):

 Random comments while various people (like rlm (I hope) and me) work on
 more thorough reviews:

  - the new files should be added to the reference manual, and there is
 some misformatted reST, which the attached patch fixes.  It also moves
 docs from the {{{__init__}}} methods to the classes, as rlm suggests.

  - I don't understand the point (or maybe the documentation) for
 M.optimized():
  {{{
  This has the advantage that any homomorphism from self extends to a
 homomorphism from V
  }}}
  If I have a map f: V/W --> Z, then I certainly get a map g: V --> Z: just
 compose the quotient map V --> V/W with f.

  - the argument "check" should be documented: I can see what it does by
 reading the source code, but it should be described in {{{FGP_module}}}
 and {{{FGP_Module_class.__init__}}} (or actually in
 {{{FGP_Module_class}}}), and wherever else it's used.
