Comment (by nbruin):

 OK, I think the patches presently supplied are safe for merger. Main work:
 - mutability is stored on `Matrix` via a direct `bint` flag. This is much
 more robust, because by default it gets initialized to a valid (`False`)
 value. The attribute is `_immutability`, so matrices are by default
 mutable, as before.
 - `matrix_integer_dense` previously called `Matrix.__init__`. That call
 has been unpacked. Previously, this code set `_nrows` and `_ncols` twice!
 - added doc to `Matrix.__init__` to make explicit the contract
 - the approach in `matrix_integer_2x2` is now as documented (before it
 seemed dodgy)
