During Sage Days 21 (while porting David Roberts' and John Cremona's
implementation of 2-descent for elliptic curves over function fields), we
came across the Magma function IsLinearlyIndependent, which does not
appear to have an analogue in Sage.
What it does is the following: given a list of points on an elliptic
curve, it returns true iff the points are linearly independent; else it
returns false and a vector of coefficients specifying a linear combination
of the points that results in torsion.
We would like to have a function that does this in Sage.
