Comment (by andrew.mathas):

 This is almost ready for review. The only issue that remains is that these
 bases are well-defined only when 2 is invertible in the base ring. In
 principle, this is catered for because the `__init__` methods in both
 bases contain lines like
 {{{
     if 1/2 not in IHAlgebra.base_ring():
         raise ValueError('The A-basis is defined only when 2 is invertible
 ')
 }}}
 In practice, this does not seem to get caught when the bases are
 initialised:
 {{{
 sage: R.<v> = LaurentPolynomialRing(GF(2))
 sage: H = IwahoriHeckeAlgebra('A3', q1=v)
 sage: A=H.A(); B=H.B(); T=H.T()
 sage: T(A[2])
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 ZeroDivisionError                         Traceback (most recent call
 last)
 BOOM!
 }}}
 }}}
