------------------------------+-----------------------------
 The code for {{{LinearMatroid.is_field_equivalent}}} will call
 {{{LinearMatroid._is_field_isomorphism}}} without ensuring that {{{self}}}
 and {{{other}}} are different objects. The latter function assumes (by
 design) that they are. The current implementation happens to give the
 right answer, but this could change when
 {{{LinearMatroid._is_field_isomorphism}}} changes its algorithm.

 Solution: if {{{self is other}}}, just return True.
