I don't believe this: gap3 is less strongly typed than python and it is possible to do this there! :) The natural way to distinguish between different bases is using their prefix -- indeed this is effectively what chevie does and Eric's manifold's code does. > The good news is that there already is infrastructure for this :-) Thanks.
