I remind you of the function *@IsConstant@* which should be helpful in this case (if IsField(CoeffRing)).

OK to require that input to *@syz@* are all non-zero.
Also OK for a new fn which accepts zero -- not sure how this s...

10:03 Feature #1206: syz, SyzOfGens: which shifts for zero?
Should we make @SyzOfGens@ obsolescent? does it do anything more than calling @syz(gens(I))@?
