Comment:

 -1 to changing all of the examples to ''only'' using GAP3/reflection
 groups. Until GAP3 becomes an optional spkg, it means they become
 completely untested. Moreover, it is good to make sure the functionality
 works between different implementations.

 I think there are a few things in here which need to be abstracted up to
 the category, root system code, and/or Coxeter type code. For example,
 `is_crystallographic` should be called on the Coxeter type, of which
 `ReflectionGroup` does not have and should (or perhaps the Coxeter
 matrix).

 I also do not see the reason why this change is needed:
 {{{#!diff
 -                Lambda = {li: coeff[li] * Lambda[li] for li in Lambda}
 +                Lambda = {li: coeff[li] * Lambda[li] for li in
 Lambda.keys()}
 }}}
 as the iteration for a dictionary is over its keys (and the former is
 faster and more memory efficient). With this change:
 {{{#!diff
 -                V_weights.append(pi * fund_weight)
 +                # TODO: little hack to distinguish the implementations
 +                #       for ReflectionGroups and CoxeterGroup
 +                from sage.groups.perm_gps.permgroup_element import
 PermutationGroupElemen
 +                if isinstance(pi,PermutationGroupElement):
 +                    V_weights.append( sum(fund_weight[j]*Phi[
 (~pi)(j+1)-1 ] for j in ran
 +                else:
 +                    V_weights.append(pi * fund_weight)
 }}}
 I think it would be better to have the fundamental weights handle the
 action of the reflection group element.
