This depends on the small groups library. IdGroup() returns the group's 
label in the sgl. The label is a pair (order, consecutive integer).

Identification is done by computing various invariants (e.g. Abelian, 
Solvable, Nilpotent, ...) and then doing isomorphism tests for the 
remaining possibilities. Plus extra rules for special classes of groups 
(e.g. if the order is a product of three primes)
