Contributions summary:Sergio primarily focused on improving the documentation of the GAP system. They added examples, clarified explanations, and updated the documentation of core functions like `NewConstructor` and `MultRowVector`. Additionally, the user made several backend changes, including refactoring error handling, updating command line options, and modifying the internal use of `ERROR_OUTPUT`. These changes suggest a dual role of documenting the system while simultaneously making modifications to improve backend behavior and functionality.
