Hello friends,

I am writing this mail to ask for your help in a naming decision.
In the file sage/categories/finite_coxeter_groups.py, there is a function
called long_element. The docstring asks if this should be renamed and if
so, to what?

There are two suggestions from the authors: longest_element,
maximal_element.

Now, I think "longest_element" is pretty common. But, LiE, Marc's Lie Group
computation software seems to call this `long_word()`.

1) what should we pick?

2) I started a ticket to clean up this file on trac:
http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/14050

I understand that name changes are to be handled with care. How do we go
about this one? Deprecate?

With Sincere Regards,
Kannappan.
