Description

Do it better:


i1 : R=QQ[x];

i2 : f = matrix {{x}}; g = x * id_(R^1);

             1       1
o2 : Matrix R  <--- R

             1       1
o3 : Matrix R  <--- R

i4 : isHomogeneous f, isHomogeneous g

o4 = (true, true)

o4 : Sequence

i5 : f|g

o5 = | x x |

             1       2
o5 : Matrix R  <--- R

i6 : isHomogeneous oo

o6 = false

Research direction

Start by reproducing the Macaulay2 session showing concatenation with f|g changes isHomogeneous from true to false. The issue names no source file or test, so locate the matrix concatenation entry point and existing homogeneity tests first; done should establish and verify the intended degree behavior for concatenated homogeneous matrices.
