New description:
Some objects in GAP are not PList but does support indexation.
{{{
gap> gens := GeneratorsOfGroup(SL(2,GF(5)));;
gap> m := gens[1];;
gap> m[1];
[ Z(5), 0*Z(5) ]
gap> m[2];
[ 0*Z(5), Z(5)^3 ]
}}}
Sage currently fails to recognize them as lists
{{{
sage: gens = libgap.GeneratorsOfGroup(SL(2,GF(5)))
sage: m = gens[0]
sage: m[0]
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
TypeError: 'sage.libs.gap.element.GapElement' object has no attribute
'__getitem__'
}}}
In this branch:
- We change the way gap lists are detected and hence more objects are now
wrapped as `GapElement_List`. In particular we make possible the access to
elements in the above example.
- we move the methods `vector` and `matrix` to `GapElement_List`
