##  Constructs a group isomorphic to the Suzuki group Sz( <A>q</A> )
##  over the field with <A>q</A> elements, where <A>q</A> is a non-square
##  power of <M>2</M>.
##  <P/>
##  If <A>filt</A> is not given it defaults to <Ref Func="IsMatrixGroup"/>,
##  and the returned group is the Suzuki group itself.
