Abstract base class for reflexive modules.

An \(R\)-module \(M\) is reflexive if the natural map from \(M\) to its double dual \(M^{**}\) is an isomorphism.

In the category of \(R\)-modules, the dual module \(M^*\) is the \(R\)-module of linear functionals \(\phi:\ M \longrightarrow R\). However, we do not make the assumption that the dual module (obtained by dual()) is in the category Homsets.

We identify the double dual \(M^{**}\) with \(M\).

Tensor products of reflexive modules are reflexive. We identify all tensor products of \(k\) copies of \(M\) and \(l\) copies of \(M^*\) and denote it by \(T^{(k,l)}(M)\). The tensor_type() of such a tensor product is the pair \((k, l)\), and \(M\) is called its base_module().

There are three abstract subclasses:

ReflexiveModule_base is the base class for implementations of base modules \(M\).
ReflexiveModule_dual is the base class for implementations of duals \(M^*\).
ReflexiveModule_tensor is the base class for implementations of tensor modules \(T^{(k,l)}(M)\).
