Comment(by tornaria):

 I added two more patches to the sequence:

  - trac_10733.05: adds a doctest for the case of mod2, because it is using
 different code it's worth testing separately
  - trac_10733.06: adds a special case to the method for the case when
 "switch_density" is 0.

 The latter basically implements what I suggested in my last comment as
 part of the {{{_echelon_in_place_classical()}}} method. As is now, the
 default for "switch_density" is always 0.1 so this code would not be
 normally used. But if one explicitly uses "switch_density=0", then the
 method will run faster after this patch. And for the case of mod 2, it
 seems that it could indeed be faster to use switch_density=0 instead of
 the default 0.1.

 I guess these two patches need to go back to review, although trac doesn't
 give me the option of changing the status to needs_review...
