Comment (by jmantysalo):

 Replying to [comment:5 ncohen]:

 > - depreceated -> deprecated
 > - {{{for x in self.list()}}} can also be written {{{for x in self}}}

 Done this.

 > - (Do as you like but) the "comps" loop could have been rewritten as - -

 This says `AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'iteritems'`.

 > - Why do you test `cardinality==0` instead of `if x not in self` ?

 Running `meet()` or `join()` will check that element belongs to the
 lattice, the only exception is empty lattice. (Well, partly because of
 that the code is non-optimal. But at least it works.)

 > - `Use FiniteLattices::complements()` -- this is not C++ ! Plus the
 message should probably be "complements() is only defined on LatticePoset"
 or something. I mean, an error message telling the user that he should
 change the poset's type itself.
 >
 > - Given how broken that function is, perhaps it is better to raise an
 exception rather than a warning.. What do you think ? Besides, that
 function is defined in `HasseDiagram` which are not really meant to be
 used directly anyway.

 I don't know. Can function from `HasseDiagram` be directly deleted without
 deprecating it first? For now I changed phrasing in the message.
