Comment (by tscrim):
Replying to [comment:5 nthiery]:
> I have just been through the diff, and overall it looks good.
Thanks for taking a look at this.
> It seems a bit redundant to both import the algebras and link to their
doc. We should find a better way to handle this automatically at some
point. But that's for a later ticket.
Concur.
> The documentation improvements elsewhere in the algebra module is nice.
Yet's it's orthogonal to the main purpose of the ticket. Next time, please
make it a separate ticket.
When I added the `quaternion_algebra.py` to the doc, it causes docbuild
failures. The cleanup was just as I was going through reading the file in
order for it to build.
> Why not lazy importing everything?
I lazy imported things that were lazily imported into the global
namespace, so it wouldn't trigger an import when doing tab completion on
`algebras.` (as what happens for groups).
There's a more trickier question of what algebras could we remove from the
global namespace (it's not nearly as clear as it was for crystals to me),
but I think that can be done on a followup.
> Up to this last point, I believe it's good to go (assuming all tests
pass).
Was this suppose to be set as needs_info? I don't quite understand why
this was set to needs_work.
> Ah, also: at some point, we will want to point to all the Hopf algebras
from combinat. But it's probably easier to do this once #16256 is done.
Yep, and it should probably be a subcatalog called `combinatorial_hopf`
(or maybe just `.hopf` and include all Hopf algebras). Anyways, stuff for
later and I'll take a look at #16256 soon.
