Comment (by egourgoulhon):
Yes, it is pretty clear that we should have the following renaming of
*classes*:
- `TopManifold` --> `TopologicalManifold`
- `DiffManifold` --> `DifferentiableManifold`
Regarding the user interface, we could indeed have a *function* `Manifold`
that looks like
{{{
Manifold(dim, symbol, type='smooth', ...)
}}}
with `'topological'`, `'differentiable'`, `'smooth'` as possible values
for the parameter `type` (as well as `'analytic'`, etc. in the future). A
question: should `'smooth'` be the default value?
Besides, I remember someone was complaining that `Manifold` was already
used in !SnapPy, cf. [http://www.math.uic.edu/t3m/SnapPy/manifold.html
this page], but is there any danger of name clash? i.e. is !SnapPy used
(or could be used in the future) from Sage?
