sage: m1=m.columns()
sage: time M(m1)
CPU times: user 3.06 s, sys: 0.44 s, total: 3.49 s
Wall time: 3.70 s
400 x 400 dense matrix over Finite Field of size 46337
sage: x=[]
sage: time map(x.extend,m1)
CPU times: user 0.81 s, sys: 0.02 s, total: 0.83 s
sage: time M(x)
CPU times: user 0.01 s, sys: 0.00 s, total: 0.01 s

Comment:
I noticed that I didn't actually put it to positive review. I tested if
the patches applied to the new 5.0.beta1, and they did so with fuzz. I
rebased them and they now apply without fuzz, all tests still pass hence
now really a positive review.
