    //! Subtract two elements of a group.
    //! @ingroup group-Group
    //!
    //! Specifically, this performs the `Monoid` operation on the first
    //! argument and on the inverse of the second argument, thus being
    //! equivalent to:
    //! @code
    //!     minus(x, y) == plus(x, negate(y))
    //! @endcode
    //!
    //!
    //! Cross-type version of the method
    //! --------------------------------
    //! The `minus` method is "overloaded" to handle distinct data types
    //! with certain properties. Specifically, `minus` is defined for
    //! _distinct_ data types `A` and `B` such that
    //! 1. `A` and `B` share a common data type `C`, as determined by the
    //!    `common` metafunction
    //! 2. `A`, `B` and `C` are all `Group`s when taken individually
    //! 3. `to<C> : A -> B` and `to<C> : B -> C` are `Group`-embeddings, as
    //!    determined by the `is_embedding` metafunction.
    //!
    //! The definition of `minus` for data types satisfying the above
    //! properties is obtained by setting
    //! @code
    //!     minus(x, y) = minus(to<C>(x), to<C>(y))
    //! @endcode
    //!
    //!
    //! Example
    //! -------
    //! @include example/minus.cpp
