Description
Unless I'm misunderstanding the point of the `Degree` option to `map`, or misreading the documentation, there are a few statements on this [page](https://macaulay2.com/doc/Macaulay2/share/doc/Macaulay2/Macaulay2Doc/html/_map_lp__Matrix_rp.html) that I suspect are incorrect. Either way though, that's a subtle page that should be documented better.
For instance:
> For example, multiplication of a matrix by a scalar increases the degree
A _scalar_ should not change the degree, right?

Research direction
Start with the linked map(Matrix) documentation page and inspect the description of the Degree option, especially the statement about multiplying a matrix by a scalar. Verify the expected degree behavior, then update the incorrect or ambiguous explanations and add enough context for the subtle cases to be understandable.
