Comment (by ncohen):

 Hello,

 > It depends on what we want to actually check. Yet as currently stated in
 the documentation of `is_isomorphic`, it does return the correct value as
 it checks "if both posets are isomorphic". My thought is that ''if'' we
 decide we want to also check with a specified linear extension, then we
 add another argument to `is_isomorphic`. At present, the method should not
 raise an error, and this should probably be done on another ticket.

 Well. I am convinced that you understand what is happening right now, and
 that you know how and why it is that while two posets object `P1,P2` may
 be reported to be isomorphic by Sage, it does not necessarily mean that
 there is a relabelling of one that makes it equal to the other. I will not
 fight for the bugs of this 'poset with linear extension' feature.
