The current convention is for algebra_generators,
semigroup_generators, and the like to return families.
There definitely is a plan for the long run (at least a wish from the
sage-combinat group :-)) to have .gens() return a family as well. But
this will require some serious coordination to maintain backward
compatibility, and I'd rather have it done in a separate patch.
Valentin: do you really need this feature right now?
