-------------------------------+--------------------------------------------
 This patch provides a bugfix for the latex method for
 `CombinatorialFreeModule` as discussed here:

 http://groups.google.com/group/sage-combinat-
 devel/browse_thread/thread/c2f3ca216ea88a96

 The bug looked like this:

 {{{
 sage: X = CombinatorialFreeModule(QQ,ZZ)
 sage: x = X.an_element()
 sage: x
 3*B[-1] + B[0] + 3*B[1]
 sage: latex(x)
 ------------------------------------------------------------
 ...
 mons = [ prefix + '_{' + ",".join(map(str, m)) + '}' for (m, _) in v ]
 TypeError: argument 2 to map() must support iteration
 }}}

 Now, this is fixed:

 {{{
 sage: X = CombinatorialFreeModule(QQ,ZZ)
 sage: x = X.an_element()
 sage: x
 3*B[-1] + B[0] + 3*B[1]
 sage: latex(x)
 3B_{-1} + B_{0} + 3B_{1}
 }}}

 It also provides a new optional argument latex_prefix for
 `CombinatorialFreeModule` in order to be able to get a latex symbol as
 output:

 {{{
 sage: X =
 CombinatorialFreeModule(QQ,ZZ,prefix='beta',latex_prefix='\\beta')
 sage: x = X.an_element()
 sage: x
 3*beta[-1] + beta[0] + 3*beta[1]
 sage: latex(x)
 3\beta_{-1} + \beta_{0} + 3\beta_{1}
 }}}
