-----------------------------------------+-----------------------------
There is a bug in how the decoder type is set for the syndrome decoder.
Consider
{{{
sage: C = codes.HammingCode(GF(5), 3)
sage: D = C.decoder("Syndrome")
sage: C.minimum_distance()
3
sage: D.maximum_error_weight()
1
sage: D.decoder_type()
{'complete', 'hard-decision', 'might-error', 'unique'}
}}}
The last line should not have had "might-error" but instead should have
had "always-succeed" and "minimum-distance".
