- What is naming policy? Should this be is_conjugate?
Indeed, I would keep the naming as close to GAP's one as possible.
"As close as possible" is, I think, not a good advice -- because it
could be understood to adopt GAP's function name IsConjugate. And I
think this would violate our nameing conventions and could thus yield to
confusion.
Yes. Relating to this, I don't like things like
(x+1).simplify() -> works
(x+1).full_simplify() -> works
simplify(x+1) -> works
full_simplify(x+1) -> ERROR
To get things easy to remember we should have orthogonality whenever
possible, related functions should take arguments in same order etc.
Perhaps, if you're up it, it's best to start also adding that kind of
functionality via libGAP...

Google found this:
http://www.stp.dias.ie/~vbraun/Sage/html/en/reference/sage/libs/gap/libgap.html
However, it talks about v4.7.alpha1.
I guess I should read about data types inside Sage --- when are groups
saved as GAP objects, when as PARI objects... Let's see how much I got
time.
