Is there a way to check if a vector v is in the linear span of a given 
family of vectors v1,...vn?
I don't think I saw such a function in the base library but I may have 
missed it.

I can use something like 

 rank([v;v1...vn]) == rank([v1...vn])

but that looks inefficient. 

Also is there any facility to compute with matrices with integer/rational 
coefficients?
It seems that the standard library focuses on floats.
