Comment (by tkluck):
> Arguments AGAINST modifying the specification to match the present
behavior are:
> * The ambient vector space does not always exist (e.g. when the ring is
not a PID)
> * When it does, the present functionnality is still available through
{{{M.vector_space().coordinates()}}}
I feel these are actually very good arguments. Could you explain why you
chose to update the code instead of the documentation?
I haven't looked at your patch yet.
