- add introductory text and examples for matrix groups (analogous to the recent changes in the documentation for f.p. groups) - improve the documentation for sesquilinear forms - change/fix docstrings, add examples to docstrings - export `invariant_bilinear_form`, `invariant_quadratic_form`, `invariant_sesquilinear_form` (alternatively, we could remove their documentation from the manual)

There was a problem hiding this comment.
For other similar *_type function we actually make sure that one can also pass in instances, for convenience. Maybe a good idea to do that here, too? E.g. we do this in AA:
elem_type(x) = elem_type(typeof(x))
elem_type(T::DataType) = throw(MethodError(elem_type, (T,)))
