In principle, it is possible to create vector spaces of IsVectorObj objects.
gap> vecs:= [ Vector( IsPlistVectorRep, GF(2), [ 0, 1 ] * Z(2) ) ];;
gap> v:= VectorSpace( GF(2), vecs );
<vector space over GF(2), with 1 generator>
(The changes from #4797 have provided several methods that deal with this case.)
However, a lot of functionality is missing.
gap> Dimension( v );
Error, no method found! ...
gap> b:= Basis( v );;
gap> BasisVectors( b );
Error, no method found! ...
gap> Coefficients( b, vecs[1] );

gap> z:= Zero( v ); # yields a list not in `IsPlistVectorRep`
<an immutable GF2 vector of length 2>
gap> z in v;
Error, no method found!
One problem with the current setup is that the filter IsNonGaussianRowSpace gets set for certain vector spaces, which enables IsHandledByNiceBasis, but the underlying functionality does not fit. An example is

I am not sure how to deal with the open ends, and have started a discussion on this topic, see #5346. Comments are welcome.
