Comment(by wuthrich):

 Looking at the code, I see that this is not doing exactly what my original
 idea was when I opened this trac. The reason this is so slow is that a lot
 of computations will be done several times. I thought that one should
 create the isogeny without running through the current init of the object.
 I think all data is known easily once the division polynomial is computed.

 Of course, we can leave it like that by now, but I would suggest to open a
 further ticket to improve this.

 Another ugly thing is
 {{{
 sage: phi.codomain() == phi.domain()
 False
 }}}

 One should set the post_isomorphism correctly.

 As to the 4-isogeny, this is indeed not implemented since it is a bit more
 complicated. The best would be to have the composition of morphisms
 defined and then to defined by iterating [2]. We can leave it like that by
 now. It is a shame though.
