New description:

 the method ''length'' of permutations returns the Coxeter length and not
 the length of the permutation as a word (which is the most natural notion
 of length for some part of the community). This is not a problem but this
 is not precised in the documentation and in the example given, the two
 notions of length match!

 I will write a small patch to change the example and add another method
 ''size''
