Comment:

 With 4.6.rc0 the patch applies and works fine.  But look at these timings:
 {{{
 sage: G = SL(2, Zmod(4))
 sage: time a = list(G)
 CPU times: user 0.05 s, sys: 0.01 s, total: 0.06 s
 Wall time: 1.69 s
 sage: time b = G.list()
 CPU times: user 0.07 s, sys: 0.00 s, total: 0.07 s
 Wall time: 20.60 s
 }}}

 I'm not letting that stop me giving the patch a positive review, but it
 suggest that the list() method should be calling whatever the other one
 uses!

 Testing the directory matrix_gps, the file which this patch changes now
 takes a very long time:
 {{{
 sage -t  "sage/groups/matrix_gps/matrix_group.py"
          [263.9 s]
 }}}
 whereas without the patch:
 {{{
 [240.1s]
 }}}
 Is the extra time just the time of the new doctest (if so, mark it #long
 time), or are some other doctests now slower?
