The unary version of `Subgroup’ is intended to have a subgroup object that is going to be further specified in the course of an algorithm. E.g. if you do not know how to get generators of a Sylow subgroup, you could still have an object representing one and have this object store e.g. order, nilpotence etc. There is currently little, if any, functionality that uses this.
