Comment (by rbeezer):

 I keep plugging away at this.  Some improvement by exploiting category
 code.  Totally reworked, so most of my comments above are obsolete.

 Draft 4 patch is very functional, with the following caveats that I cannot
 figure out.  Assistance greatly appreciated if you can provide advice or
 specific pointers.  There is quite a bit of functionality demonstrated in
 the module-level doctests.  Little or no error-checking yet.

   1.  `_element_constructor()` works fine with module elements, which is
 to be expected, since it is copied verbatim from there.  I cannot seem to
 make it accept reasonable elements of the parent of the generators for
 subsequent processing without totally breaking extensive doctests.
   1.  The multiplicative version does not pass the `TestSuite` framework.
 Likely the implementation of multiplicative operators on top of an
 additive class (FGP modules) is to blame?

 I've tried to add copious comments to make it easier to navigate the code.
 More specific problem areas are flagged with `*PROBLEM*`.
