##  A *left magma ideal* is a submagma (see~"Magmas") which is closed under
##	left multiplication by elements of its parent magma.
##
DeclareSynonym("IsLeftMagmaIdeal", IsMagma and IsLeftActedOnBySuperset);

##  As a sub magma, a left magma ideal has a Parent (the enclosing magma)
##  and as LeftActedOnBySuperset it has a  LeftActingDomain. 
##  We must ensure that these two are the same object when the 
##  left magma ideal is created.

##  `LeftMagmaIdeal' returns the magma containing the elements in the 
##  homogeneous list <gens> and closed under left multiplication by elements 
##  of the magma <D> in which it embeds.
##

##  This has to put in the parent and left acting set. Although it is a 
##  submagma, we can't call the generic submagma creation since that
##  requires *magma* generators.
