Comment(by dimpase):

 Perhaps someone who understands libs/gap/gap.pyx better than me can
 comment on few sticking points I encounter:

 class Gap(ParentWithBase) is instantiated only once, for base=ZZ. Is it
 meant that it should be instantiated for other bases, too? And if so,
 which ones? (I must say it's very puzzling to me piece of code...)

 in the class GapElement, _div_ and other member functions can potentially
 fail (as demonstrated in the comment "This log pretty much explains
 what/why/what next:..." above), e.g. due to division by 0. It is meant
 that the corresponding checks are to be implemented in these member
 functions? I guess not, it's rather a matter of properly catching the
 corresponding GAP interrupts, right?

 What _dealloc_ in this class meant to do?
