##  <Prop Name="IsParentPcgsFamilyPcgs" Arg='pcgs'/>
##
##  <Description>
##  This property indicates that the pcgs <A>pcgs</A> is induced with respect
##  to a family pcgs.
##  <P/>
##  This property is needed to distinguish between different independent 
##  polycyclic generating sequences which a pc group may have, since
##  the elementary operations for a non-family pcgs may not be as efficient 
##  as the elementary operations for the family pcgs.
##  <P/>
##  This can have a significant influence on the performance of algorithms
##  for polycyclic groups.
##  Many algorithms require a pcgs that corresponds to an
##  elementary abelian series
##  (see&nbsp;<Ref Func="PcgsElementaryAbelianSeries" Label="for a group"/>)
##  or even a special pcgs (see&nbsp;<Ref Sect="Special Pcgs"/>).
##  If the family pcgs has the required
##  properties, it will be used for these purposes, if not &GAP; has to work
##  with respect to a new pcgs which is <E>not</E> the family pcgs and thus
##  takes longer for elementary calculations like
##  <Ref Func="ExponentsOfPcElement"/>.
##  <P/>
##  Therefore, if the family pcgs chosen for arithmetic is not of importance
##  it might be worth to <E>change</E> to another, nicer, pcgs to speed up
##  calculations.
##  This can be achieved, for example, by using the 
##  <Ref Func="Range" Label="of a general mapping"/> value
##  of the isomorphism obtained by <Ref Func="IsomorphismSpecialPcGroup"/>.
