It should not fail, because it follows from standard definitions. (E.g., it is the base case of a recursive definition.) And it does not imply that the determinant is defined for anything but square matrices. But I am still confused about the use case. What is the scalar- (or 1d-array-) returning procedure invokedbefore taking the determinant?
