(This is coming from Daniel Erman)

I'd love to be able to compute a versal deformation base (and a
versal deformation) of a projective variety or of an affine variety with isolated singularity.

The following is `dream code' for such deformations with a
projective variety.

P3=ProjectiveSpace(3,QQ,'xyzw')
X=P3.subscheme([x^2,x*y,x*z,y^4*z,y^5])
EDEFS=X.embedded_deformations()

I want this to be the vector space of embedded deformations of X in P3.
Maybe P3 should be an input too.
So this should just compute H^0(X,N_{X/P3}) i.e. the global sections
of the normal bundle of X in P3.

H2=X.embedded_versal_deformation_base(2)

I want this to compute the embedded versal deformation ring up to
the maximal ideal squared
In other words, if (R,m) is the local ring of X at the Hilbert
scheme, then this would
output R/m^2. Since m/m^2=EDEFS from above, this is essentially
equivalent to computing
first order deformations.

H3=X.embedded_versal_deformation_base(3)

This is what I really want. There is no good implementation that I know of
for computing R/m^3 (with notation as above). But it is
absolutely computable
and I know several people (myself included) who have worked out
shoddy code in M2
for these types of computations.

In fact, I'd like to be able to compute R/m^n for any n. And it is possible
that after some n, you can check that you have found all of the
necessary relations.
In other words, I'd like Sage to tell me when the process has
terminated so that
we actually can find a representation of R itself

DEFS=X.deformations()

I want this to compute the vector space of abstract deformations of X.
So this should just be H^1(X,T_X), where T_X is the tangent bundle of X.

D2=X.versal_deformation_base(2)

I want this to give me a versal deformation base S/m^2 up to m^2.

D3=X.versal_deformation_base(3)

I want this to give me a versal deformation base S/m^3 up to m^3.
And so on.

In a dream world, I'd like all sorts of additional features.
Like if I tell Sage that my variety X comes with a GG_m action,
then I'd like the vector spaces of (embedded) deformations and the
(embedded) versal deformation bases to inherit that grading as well.
