Comment (by ncohen):

 Hello again,

 It seems that it is not necessary to turn the group into a permutation
 group in order to get this information from gap

 {{{
 sage: F.<x, y> = FreeGroup()
 sage: G=F / [x^2*y^-1, x^3*y^2, x*y*x^-1*y^-1]
 sage: G._gap_().StructureDescription()
 "C7"
 }}}

 Thus there should be no problem with a limit argument or anything.

 There remains some work to do in this ticket, however, for the code of
 `structure_description` defined in `PermutationGroup` does not only return
 GAP's answer: there is some string rewriting going on (as well as a latex
 output available), and it would be better to not copy/paste it here.
