o7 : ChainComplexMap
i8 : isChainComplexMap phi

o8 = true

Caveat: The script uses trivialHomologicalTruncation to truncates the source and target of the map phi to include only the indices for which phi has matrices. This eliminates the problem of complexes of different lengths seen in an earlier version, which would have made the last line in the example return false.
