Topic: Basis of matrices

Do we have the standard basis for the space of matrices over a (nontrivial?) ring? Equivalently, the basis of M →ₗ[R] N induced by finite bases of M and N? Thank's!

Since matrix m n R is just m → n → R, you might be able to get there by combining docs#pi.basis with docs#pi.basis_fun

There is also docs#matrix.std_basis_matrix, but nothing showing that these are indeed basis vectors.
