"""
Generic LibGAP-based Group

This is useful if you need to use a GAP group implementation in Sage
that does not have a dedicated Sage interface.

If you want to implement your own group class, you should not derive
from this but directly from
:class:`~sage.groups.libgap_wrapper.ParentLibGAP`.

EXAMPLES::

    sage: F.<a,b> = FreeGroup()
    sage: G_gap = libgap.Group([ (a*b^2).gap() ])
    sage: from sage.groups.libgap_group import GroupLibGAP
    sage: G = GroupLibGAP(G_gap);  G
    Group([ a*b^2 ])
    sage: type(G)
    <class 'sage.groups.libgap_group.GroupLibGAP_with_category'>
    sage: G.gens()
    (a*b^2,)
