isQuasiIsomorphism -- Test to see if the ChainComplexMap is a quasi-isomorphism.

Synopsis

Description

A quasi-isomorphism is a chain map that is an isomorphism in homology. Mapping cones currently do not work properly for complexes concentrated in one degree, so isQuasiIsomorphism could return bad information in that case.
