 With the recent sub-classing framework for linear codes, it is now often
 useful to recast a code from some family as a generic linear code, thus
 forgetting its structure, e.g.

 {{{
 sage: C = codes.GeneralizedReedSolomonCode(GF(23).list(), 12)
 sage: Chan = channels.StaticErrorRateChannel(GF(23)^7, 2)
 sage: %timeit C.decode(Chan(C.random_element()))
 <some short time>
 sage: C_dumb = LinearCode(C)
 sage: %timeit C.decode(Chan(C.random_element()))
 <loong time>
 }}}

 Except the above code doesn't work, since `LinearCode` expects a matrix,
 and can't understand a code as input.
