 :-D

 That would be a very professional excuse, but I guess I was thinking more
 along the lines `bool(…)` vs. `x.__nonzero__()` (which should behave the
 same) instead of `bool(x)` vs. `x.is_zero()` as the doctest used them.

 Some more comments from reading the latest commit.
 * `if entries is None or not entries` could be shortened to `if not
 entries`.
 * `_cmp_backward` might use `if i != j: return i - j` in the first case as
 well. Not sure whether that makes much of a difference.

 One more thing, not related to that last commit. Contrary to other sparse
 matrix implementations, we don't do a range check for inputs. Of course,
 that might be considered a bug in its own right, but if you feel like it,
 you could address this here as well.

 {{{
 sage: m = matrix(Zmod(5)['x'],2,2,{(3,3):2}) # this APPEARS to work at
 first
 sage: m.is_zero()
 False
 sage: m

 sage: matrix(Zmod(5),2,2,{(3,3):2}) # this reports the problem early on
 ...
 IndexError: invalid entries list
 }}}
