Comment(by wdj):

 No, I think this is a useful patch. Also, I agree that the enumeration
 problem is a separate ticket. I am not an expert, so to review your patch,
 which I think is interesting, I am told to read

 {{{
 Combinatorial Matrix Theory
 by Brualdi and Ryser, Chapter 6

 Combinatorial Matrix Classes
 By Brualdi (I think this has a whole chapter on A(R,S), the
 set of (0,1)-matrices with prescribed row sums R and col sums S.

 Combinatorial Mathematics
 By Ryser (has a chapter on A(R,S))
 }}}
 They shouldn't take long to read but I don't own these and will
 have to make a trip to the library, which I will try to do tomorrow.

 I was also told of a very interesting application of the Gale-Ryser
 theorem to medical imaging (which you may already know about):
