The existing matrix routines (Determinant, Inverse) often use implicitly, that the underlying ring is commutative and an integral domain or even that every nonzero element is invertible.
As some people want to work with matrices over other rings, it would be nice to have more general (albeit slower) routines that do not require quotients.
This change should be a pure add-on with interfering as little as possible with the existing methods which need to be fast.
