Comment (by jmantysalo):

 There are two points. First is technical one:

 `lattices.py` contains three classes, i.e. (whole) lattice and
 semilattices. Now, hand-made version contained a table like

 {{{
 **Meet and join**

     :meth:`~FiniteMeetSemilattice.meet` | Return the meet of given
 elements.
     :meth:`~FiniteJoinSemilattice.join` | Return the join of given
 elements.
 }}}

 and this seems to be impossible to do with this.

 Second is not so technical. It is possible to have for example

 {{{
 :meth:`~FiniteLatticePoset.is_geometric` | Return ``True`` if the lattice
 is atomic and upper semimodular.
 }}}

 in the index and

 {{{
 def is_geometric(self):
     """
     Return ``True`` if the lattice is geometric, and ``False`` otherwise.

     A lattice is geometric if it is both atomic and upper semimodular.
 }}}

 in the function documentation. I think that hand-made index can be better
 than automatically generated; and of course it needs more work.

 But I am a fan of Nathann's code. I think I could use it at matrices and
 groups, at least. They are used is basic courses at university, so they
 should have good documentation page.
