Comment(by davidloeffler):

 I think the standard practice is to have an optional argument "check",
 which defaults to True but can be set to False if you know your input is
 valid and you don't want to waste time checking.

 Rather than having an explicit list of allowable base rings, I suggest
 checking that the base ring has a canonical coercion map to RR.

 Maybe you could put in a method under (perhaps) sage.matrix.matrix2 that
 calls this, and cross-reference between the two docstrings.

 David
