Re: [cgsuite-devel] Suggestions for CGSuite

[Aaron S. <aar...@gm...>]

I'm finally responding to this...

1 & 2 are features that I've hoped to see in cgsuite for a long time.  3
would be welcome also - note that it would also provide a way to *verify*
the canonical form quickly since we could presumably run the search
algorithm over G - K (where K is the putative canonical form), as well as
check whether G is infinitesimal etc.  I could also envision (relatively)
fast algorithms for computing mean and temperature, etc.

I'm fine with the change proposed by 4  (ReducedCanonicalForm instead of
Rcf)... anyone else have a preference here?

I have a strong preference for "iterator" in place of "iterators".  I'm
going to go ahead and make this change.
