That could sound nicer indeed. It depends partly on what special node
we want by default for C.dual():
sage: C.dual().special_node()
2
sage: C.dual().classical().index_set()
[0, 1]
sage: CartanType(["B",2]).index_set()
[1, 2]
Changing C.dual to return a "dual cartan type", instead of a
"relabelled cartan type" should do the job. But then we somehow loose
the information that type BC dual is isomorphic to type BC. I don't
know if this is relevant.
