Comment (by dimpase):

 Replying to [comment:56 ncohen]:
 > Considering the function, I don't think that you will detect the
 difference in running time. It is probably possible, though probably a bit
 ugly as we would have to catch the exception raised by GAP and check that
 the error message is what we expect.

 I don't actually know how to deal with creating an exception from a libgap
 function returning `fail`. It can be converted to Sage's `bool` just fine,
 and the previous version (in public/19661 branch) did
 `bool(libgap.LoadPackage(...))` and raised an exception based on its
 result. I don't know the rationale behind this changed to using
 `is_package_installed`.

 As a matter of fact, I don't like it. I can install a GAP package directly
 into SAGE_LOCAL, and this would work with `libgap.LoadPackage(...)`, but
 won't work with `is_package_installed`.
 The fact that GRAPE lives in `gap_packages` at present is an unimportant
 detail, and might change; what's important is that the corresponding GAP
 functionality is available, and GAP surely knows better than Sage about
 it.
