 The actual implementation of `__contains__` for linear codes is quite
 slow.
     It can be improved using the syndrome computation instead of checking
 if the vector belongs to a specific subspace of the ambient space.

     Test:
     {{{
 F = GF(1009)
 n, k = 1000, 500
 C = codes.RandomLinearCode(n, k, F)

 subspace = []
 syndrome = []

 for i in range(20):
     c = C.random_element()
     start = time.clock()
     A = C.ambient_space()
     S = A.subspace(C.gens())
     res = S.__contains__(c)
     elapsed = (time.clock() - start)
     assert res == True
     subspace.append(elapsed)

     start = time.clock()
     if not v in C.ambient_space() or len(v) != C.length():
         res = False
     else:
         res = (C.syndrome(c) == 0)
     elapsed = (time.clock() - start)
     assert res == True
     syndrome.append(elapsed)
     }}}


     Results:
     {{{
     sage: median(subspace)
     1.526604500000019
     sage: median(syndrome)
     0.00408399999997755
     }}}
