Dear Dr. Reichard,

Well, yes, I ended up writing my own function too. Just seemed a bit
arb to have to though...

Please do understand that GAP is produced by fellow mathematicians
(doing their own research and teaching) free of charge and with open
source and that its intention is to provide main mathematical
algorithms on algebraic structures together with a programming
language that allows everybody to extend or modify the code for
his/her special purpose. The GAP team cannot aim at providing all and
every modification.

So while we are grateful for any constructive criticism (and of course
for help in the project) I consider the above critical remark as a bit
out of place.

With kind regards Joachim Neubueser
