ChainComplexMap -- the class of all maps between chain complexes

Description

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