Comment (by mmarco):

 I have been thinking about how to rewrite the code to allow arbitrary
 objects as generators, but i don't see how to do it. My code is basically
 a wrapper around gap freegroups and finitely generated groups. So
 internally we have to stick to the gap structure. Maybe it could be
 possible to "cheat" by just creating a dictionary that relates the
 arbitrary generators and the string generators, in such a way that you can
 change the output.

 Right now i am in a conference, so i can't work on the code until next
 week. And even then, there are other things that have higher priority on
 my to-do list. But if someone wants to step up and make a patch with the
 feature you mentioned, that would be great.

 Anyways, i think that it would be better to have something simpler but
 that works fine for the moment, and once that is merged, start working on
 extending functionalty.
