Robert,
We should make our matrices have nrows, ncols, and row iterations
and column iterations be of type size_t. On 64-bit systems, it
could "easily" happen that somebody wants to make a 2 x 2^33,
and we definitely want to support this. Plus, MAGMA doesn't
do this sort of thing well, so it's a chance for SAGE to shine:
>> A := RMatrixSpace(Rationals(),2,2^30);
^
Runtime error in 'RMatrixSpace': Argument 3 (1073741824) is too large
> A := RMatrixSpace(Rationals(),2,2^29);
Magma: Internal error
