Comment (by cnassau):

 I have given the submatrix methods the same signature as in file
 "matrix1.pyx". This includes a name change of the arguments, because in
 parts of Sage (eg, `ChainComplex._homology_generators_snf`) the method is
 called with named arguments.

 I also made this change:
 {{{
 -        if self._ncols == 0 or self._nrows == 0:
 +        if ncols == 0 or nrows == 0:
 }}}
 This fixed a segfault in my tests, and also seems to make more sense that
 the original: one returns an uninitialized matrix if *it* is empty, not if
 *self* is empty.

 Caveat: I have no detailed understanding of m4rie, someone knowledgeable
 might want to have a look at my changes.
