These changes avoid some direct or indirect access to functionality
provided by GAP packages (namely CTblLib, GAPDoc, SmallGrp).
The ultimate goal is to switch GAP.jl to start GAP with
-A
or even--bare
(or something equivalent) and then leave it to users to loadpackages. We could also have a
GAP_full.jl
or so which loadsGAP.jl
and all default packages etc., but that's all very hypothetical: These
changes are harmless either way, even if everything else stays as it is.
