SimplicialModuleMap -- the class of all maps between simplicial modules

Description

A map of simplicial modules $f \colon C \rightarrow D$ of degree $d$ is a sequence of maps $f_i \colon C_i \rightarrow D_{d+i}$. No relationship between the maps $f_i$ and the face/degeneracy maps of either $C$ or $D$ is assumed. If a simplicial module map is obtained as the image of a morphism of complexes under the Dold-Kan functor, the key complexMap will be stored for more efficient normalization computations.

The usual algebraic operations are available: addition, subtraction, scalar multiplication, and composition. The identity map from a simplicial module to itself can be produced with id. An attempt to add (subtract, or compare) a ring element to a simplicial module map will result in the ring element being multiplied by the appropriate identity map.
