This routine is really intended for instructional use. It makes it clear
that linear independence is a property of a set of vectors from a vector
space, thus its placement in the module code. It is much quicker for the
experienced user to just ask for a kernel, but I intend to make this
available to students for discussions of vector spaces in their own right,
before discussing subspaces such as the kernel of a matrix. As a bonus,
an empty set as a return value is equivalent to linear independence.
