Comment(by nthiery):

 Hi Christian, John,

 First, thanks so much for improving CombinatorialFreeModule's!

 Replying to [comment:15 jhpalmieri]:
 > The change is this: with my original patch, if you set `prefix` but not
 `latex_prefix`, then `latex_prefix` would become `prefix` rather than the
 default value of "B".  With your patch, we have this behavior:
 > {{{
 > sage: A = HeckeAlgebraSymmetricGroupT(QQ, 3)
 > sage: A.an_element()
 > T[1, 2, 3] + 2*T[1, 3, 2] + 3*T[2, 1, 3]
 > sage: latex(A.an_element())
 > B_{[1, 2, 3]} + 2B_{[1, 3, 2]} + 3B_{[2, 1, 3]}
 > }}}
 > Ideally, everyone would set latex_prefix when they set prefix,

 I would not even try to enforce setting latex_prefix. Whenever the
 prefix does not contains specific math code, it would be an
 unnecessary burden to have to set both latex_prefix and prefix.

 > but if they don't, I think they should default to being the same.
