isHomogeneous(Complex) -- whether a complex is homogeneous

Description

A complex is homogeneous (graded) if the base ring is graded, all of the component objects are graded, and all the component maps are graded of degree zero.

i1 : S = ZZ/101[a,b,c,d];
 
i2 : I = minors(2, matrix{{a,b,c},{b,c,d}})

               2                        2
o2 = ideal (- b  + a*c, - b*c + a*d, - c  + b*d)

o2 : Ideal of S
 
i3 : C = freeResolution (S^1/I)
