#5557: [with patch, needs work] implement ridiculously fast 4x4 determinant
----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
Reporter: boothby | Owner: was
Type: enhancement | Status: new
Priority: minor | Milestone: sage-3.4.1
Component: linear algebra | Keywords:

Comment(by boothby):
cwitty's argument is precisely how I justified (to myself) that this
behavior is OK. If you disagree, then this is an orthogonal issue, and we
should allow the user to override the algorithm for dimensions 1,2, and 3.
But, the point of the small special cases is that they're faster than the
others methods, so we fast-track their execution to avoid a bunch of
python string comparisons.
