Comment(by wuthrich):

 I would change the input to be as now, but if a list of points is given,
 the kernel is understood to be the subgroup '''GENERATED''' by these
 points.

 I guess one needs to check the following:

 * If a list of points is given that they are torsion.

 * If a polynomial of degree n is given that it divides the
 division_polynomial(2*n+1). Also the polynomial should be squarefree, i.e.
 define a reduced scheme.

 Am I right ?

 Why is the kernel_polynomial a multivariable polynomial ?

 Also as an enhancement we could have simply an integer to get the
 multiplication by n as an isogeny. And for curves over QQ, a
 codomain=label (and the degree can be read off the isogeny_class matrix).
