CombinatorialFreeModule.is_ambient, add element methods `items` and `nonzero_positions` #34511

Open mkoeppe opened 2 years ago

mkoeppe commented 2 years ago

FreeModule (from sage.modules) has a method is_ambient for distinguishing ambient modules from submodules.

We make this method available for CombinatorialFreeModule too via ModulesWithBasis.

Add a method items, with the same semantics as for sparse vectors from sage.modules, and matrices and tensor components after #29619. If self is a submodule, they refer to the ambient module (see #34455). Likewise nonzero_positions, which gives the indices only.

For ambient modules, dict, items, and monomial_coefficients give the same result, and support and nonzero_positions are the same. We enforce this with a _test_... method.
