Comment:

 Hah, that's pretty funny: before, the syndrome decoder was actually a
 nearest neighbor decoder, and therefore ran in `q^k`. Now, it's really a
 syndrome decoder and runs in `q^(n-k)`, which is too big for the previous
 example in the tutorial.

 Perhaps, a linear code should default to using syndrome or nearest
 neighbor depending on which of `q^(n-k)` or `q^k` is biggest?

 For this ticket: green again.
