(* Cosets are right cosets of elements in the normaliser.                     *)
(* We let cosets coerce to GroupSet.sort, so they inherit the group subset    *)
(* base group structure. Later we will define a proper group structure on     *)
(* cosets, which will then hide the inherited structure once coset_of unifies *)
(* with FinGroup.sort; the coercion to GroupSet.sort will no longer be used.  *)
(*   Note that for Hx Hy : coset_of H, Hx * Hy : {set gT} can mean either     *)
(*    set_of_coset (mulg Hx Hy) OR mulg (set_of_coset Hx) (set_of_coset Hy).  *)
(* However, since the two terms are actually convertible, we can live with    *)
(* this ambiguity.                                                            *)
(*   We take great care that neither the type coset_of H, nor its Canonical   *)
(* finGroupType structure, nor the coset H morphism depend on the actual      *)
(* group structure of H. Otherwise, rewriting would be extremely awkward      *)
(* because all our equalities are stated at the set level.                    *)
(*   The trick we use is to interpret coset_of A, when A is any set, as the   *)
(* type of cosets of the group <<A>> generated by A, in the group A <*> N(A)  *)
(* generated by A and its normaliser. This coincides with the type of         *)
(* bilateral cosets of A when A is a group. We restrict the domain of coset A *)
(* to 'N(A), so that we get almost all the same conversion equalities as if   *)
(* we had forced A to be a group in the first place; the only exception, that *)
(* 1 : coset_of A : {set gT} = <<A>> rather than A, can be handled by genGid. *)
