Comment (by darij):

 Not done yet (symgp_conjugacy_class.py) remains, but there are some things
 I don't get about this that I'd prefer to have answered before I go on.

 - The _mul_ issue, as above.

 - The meaning of the index_set parameter: is it just there to allow
 building the symmetric group algebra with different basis keys?

 - _coerce_map_from_ claims that there exists a coercion from
 SymmetricGroup(3).algebra(QQ) to SymmetricGroupAlgebra(QQ, 3), but
 applying this coercion to elements fails. This is because
 `StandardPermutations_n_abstract.__call__` does not take a permutation
 group element as a parameter. I am not sure what to do about it, since I
 wouldn't be happy with duck-typing in that constructor.
