Change GroupWithGenerators to accept collections again
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
In GAP <= 4.9, this worked:

    gap> GroupWithGenerators( Group( (1,2) ) );
    Group([ (), (1,2) ])

In GAP 4.10, this was broken and instead lead to a "method not found" error.
While strictly speaking this was never documented behavior, we restore it
to avoid regressions in code that relied on this undocumented behavior.
