Comment (by tscrim):

 Actually, I will re-enable that caching; there was a time when I was
 considering the `CoxeterMatrix` to be a `UniqueRepresentation`, but it was
 easier to make it a usual class. However, for (better or) worse, pythonic
 code is ducktyped code since it is a weakly-typed language. Yet I tried to
 make case-by-case as much as possible (following what I did for
 `CartanMatrix`). There is some indirection done in `CoxeterMatrix` by
 converting the Cartan type to a Coxeter type, but I felt this was the best
 way to do things (at least with the current implementation). Yet this part
 isn't ducktyped. So what my long-winded reply is saying is I'm open to
 suggestions, but this is the local optimal code I'm at.
