The term "V-map" is stupid

I wish I had never come up with it. Will anyone object if I just call
these "subgroup matrices" instead? I'll do the work in changing the
2-3 pages on the wiki.

I agree the term seems odd, but is it really worth changing?
A great contribution, V-maps are.

I guess if people are already used to it, we can keep it. I remember
some reason I didn't just want to call them subgroup matrices, and
eventually settled on "val map" and "monzo map," which I then
shortened to V-map and M-map. I should have probably gone with
subgroup matrices though, in retrospect. At this point it looks like
category theory is getting involved anyway, so I should probably wait
to see what the full picture is before naming stuff.
