    The category of (multiplicative) semigroups.

    A *semigroup* is an associative :class:`magma <Magmas>`, that is a
    set endowed with a multiplicative binary operation `*` which is
    associative (see :wikipedia:`Semigroup`).

    The operation `*` is not required to have a neutral element. A
    semigroup for which such an element exists is a :class:`monoid
    <sage.categories.monoids.Monoids>`.

            EXAMPLES:

            We start with the (right) Cayley graphs of some classical groups::

                Dihedral group of order 8 as a permutation group

                sage: G.num_edges()
                120

                sage: w = WeylGroup(['A',3])
                sage: d = w.cayley_graph(); d
                Digraph on 24 vertices
                sage: d.show3d(color_by_label=True, edge_size=0.01, vertex_size=0.03)

            Alternative generators may be specified::

                sage: G = A5.cayley_graph(generators=[A5.gens()[0]])
                sage: G.num_edges()
                60
                sage: g=PermutationGroup([(i+1,j+1) for i in range(5) for j in range(5) if j!=i])
                sage: g.cayley_graph(generators=[(1,2),(2,3)])
                Digraph on 120 vertices

            If ``elements`` is specified, then only the subgraph
            induced and those elements is returned. Here we use it to
            display the Cayley graph of the free monoid truncated on
            the elements of length at most 3::

                sage: M = Monoids().example(); M
                An example of a monoid: the free monoid generated by ('a', 'b', 'c', 'd')
                sage: elements = [ M.prod(w) for w in sum((list(Words(M.semigroup_generators(),k)) for k in range(4)),[]) ]
                sage: G = M.cayley_graph(elements = elements)

                (85, 84)
                sage: G.show3d(color_by_label=True, edge_size=0.001, vertex_size=0.01)

            We now illustrate the ``side`` and ``simple`` options on

            Return the multiplicative subsemigroup generated by ``generators``.

            INPUT:

            - ``generators`` -- a finite family of elements of
              ``self``, or a list, iterable, ... that can be converted
              into one (see :class:`Family`).

            - ``one`` -- a unit for the subsemigroup, or ``None``.

            - ``category`` -- a category

            This implementation lazily constructs all the elements of
            the semigroup, and the right Cayley graph relations
            between them, and uses the latter as an automaton.

            See :class:`~sage.sets.monoids.AutomaticSemigroup` for details.

            EXAMPLES::

                sage: R = IntegerModRing(15)
                sage: M = R.subsemigroup([R(3),R(5)]); M
                A subsemigroup of (Ring of integers modulo 15) with 2 generators
                sage: M.list()
                [3, 5, 9, 0, 10, 12, 6]

            By default, `M` is just in the category of subsemigroups::

                sage: M in Semigroups().Subobjects()
                True

            In the following example, we specify that `M` is a
            submonoid of the finite monoid `R` (it shares the same
            unit), and a group by itself::

                sage: M = R.subsemigroup([R(-1)],
                ....:     category=Monoids().Finite().Subobjects() & Groups()); M
                A submonoid of (Ring of integers modulo 15) with 1 generators
                sage: M.list()
                [1, 14]
                sage: M.one()
                1

            In the following example `M` is a group; however its unit
            does not coincide with that of `R`, so `M` is only a
            subsemigroup, and we need to specify its unit explicitly::

                sage: M = R.subsemigroup([R(5)],
                ....:     category=Semigroups().Finite().Subobjects() & Groups()); M
                Traceback (most recent call last):
                ...
                ValueError: For a monoid which is just a subsemigroup, the unit should be specified
