The best shortcut to make a submodule is via SumboduleCols/Rows.

As pointed out in #1072-#1, even for one generator we need the list:

use P ::= QQ[x,y,z];
M3 := NewFreeModule(P,3);
v := ModuleElem(M3, [0,z,-y]);
submodule(M3, [v]);

I don't think it worth implementing the 1-2-3 generator shortcuts as for ideal, but maybe a syntax to read from a string could be handy.
