 The `submatrix` methods for dense matrices mod 2^e^ have a different
 signature than the other `submatrix` methods; the latter treat their last
 two arguments as optional. This leads to errors like this (from
 6.8.beta5):

 {{{
 sage: d0=matrix(GF(2),[[1, 1], [1, 1], [1, 1], [1, 1]])
 sage:
 
d0._echelon_form_PID()---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 TypeError                                 Traceback (most recent call
 last)
 ...
 TypeError: submatrix() takes exactly 4 positional arguments (2 given)
 }}}

 or this

 {{{
 sage: d0=matrix(GF(2),[[1, 1], [1, 1], [1, 1], [1, 1]])
 sage: d1=matrix(GF(2),[[1, 1, 0, 0],
  [1, 1, 0, 0],
  [1, 1, 1, 1],
  [1, 1, 1, 1],
  [0, 0, 1, 1],
  [0, 0, 1, 1]]
 )
 sage: C=ChainComplex(data=(d0,d1))
 sage: C.homology(1,generators=True)
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 TypeError                                 Traceback (most recent call
 last)
 ...

 }}}
