Comment (by jhpalmieri):
I'm curious, where does it say that `algebra_generators` should return a
`Family`?
I suppose in parallel with `algebra_generators` and `gens`, we could have
`variables` and `vars`, returning a `Family` and a `tuple` respectively,
and also `differentials` and `diffs`. Or something like that. Those names
are not very evocative, so this does not seem ideal.
I feel that users will frequently want to do things like `dx, dy, dz =
W.differentials()`, so we should have an obvious method which returns a
sorted tuple. Maybe the method returning a family could be private
(`W._differentials()`) or have a name like `W.differentials_as_family()`?
