Hecke contains only abelian groups and a list of all finite groups of order up to 100. Oscar brings in comprehensive functionality for computational group theory, including support for arbitrary...

Since saturations have landed, can we have a new release?

Some time ago I added code in Oscar for doing this: https://github.com/oscar-system/Oscar.jl/blob/c0fadd1a7ff95ba76841972ba5ca5122f5a5aba0/experimental/FTheoryTools/src/auxiliary.jl#L389-L436 We could probably move it here. In the meantime, just steal it.

Ah yes, I remember the julia parser is really bad at this. I think this is very low priority for the main developers, but any contribution in this regard of...

Every time I see this I am surprised that we have this syntax. I think this change here makes it actually useful.

(There is already a `word` method for fp groups, which seems to do the same as `letters`.) Edit: Isn't the reverse function just `map_word`?

I agree with @fieker. It is the same reason we want a fast evaluate for polynomials in specific situations.

I am not a group theorist by training, but in the group theory papers that I encountered a minimal generating set always meant a generating set which is minimal in...

I think for groups in the literature this is called "minimum generating set". So I would throw `minimum_generating_set` in the ring.
