Comment(by spancratz):

 Dear Rob,

 I am sorry that I am only looking at this again now.  Of course, the
 reviewer patch looks fine.  Thanks again for reviewing this!  About your
 other points...

 3) Yes, that is a good observation.  I am almost sure that if one looked
 closer at the linear algebra operations then this code could easily be
 improved.  There are currently two reasons why I won't look at this,
 though.  (a) The previous code was broken, so I think it's important to
 first have something that "obviously" works, in the sense that it is
 moderately easy to review since the code only uses "high-level"
 operations.  (b) I've got my first year interview this coming Monday.

 4) This is completely up to you.  The matrix looks quite intriguing and
 more examples certainly couldn't hurt.  Since this ticket will probably be
 closed soon, if you decide to include this new example, feel free to let
 me know (via email or sage-devel) and I'll review it right away.

 Also, Minh, thank you for picking up the slack and completing the review
 process!

 Kind regards,

 Sebastian
