:

x : y -- a binary operator.

The user may install binary methods for this operator with code such as

              X : Y := (x,y) -> ...
where X is the class of x and Y is the class of y .

f : g -- if f and g are matrices with the same target free module, computes the ideal of ring elements r which send the image of f into the image of g, and returns a matrix which generates that ideal. Also works if f or g are ring elements themselves, in which case the ring element is multiplied by an identity map, or if they are ideal, submodules, or monomial ideals. See also quotient.
n : x -- if n is an integer and x is anything, return a sequence consisting of x repeated n times. A negative value for n will silently be treated as zero.
