Comment (by vdelecroix):

 Replying to [comment:26 slabbe]:
 > > - What is the `modpi` arguments. What is a rotation of angle `pi` for
 you? Is it a linear transformation that is a pi-rotation restricted on a
 plane and leaves invariant the orthogonal complement? (I guess it should
 also have integer coordinates) If this is, then it is of course not a
 group... but of course you might consider the group generated by these.

 A bit. What do you mean by `the rectangular parallelepiped`? There is only
 one? As far as I understand it is the isometry group that preserves
 '''any''' rectangular parallelepiped. You can also say differently: the
 group of orientable isometry that preserve (globally) each axis. Is that
 right?

 And as before, this is the group *generated* by these rotation and not
 only thes rotations themselves (except in dim 2 and 3).

 Isn't this group exactly the subgroup of matrices with an even number of
 `-1` on the diagonal? So the quotient is just the signed permutation
 matrices with either `0` or `1` coefficient `-1` (all others being `1`).
 Isn't it?

 When `orientation_preserving` is `False` I guess this group is the
 subgroup of matrices with any number of `-1` on the diagonal. In that
 case, the quotient would just be the permutation matrices. No?
