/**
 * performs LLL reduction.

 * B is an m x n matrix, viewed as m rows of n-vectors.  m may be less
 * than, equal to, or greater than n, and the rows need not be
 * linearly independent.  B is transformed into an LLL-reduced basis,
 * and the return value is the rank r of B.  The first m-r rows of B
 * are zero.
 *
 * More specifically, elementary row transformations are performed on
 * B so that the non-zero rows of new-B form an LLL-reduced basis
 * for the lattice spanned by the rows of old-B.
 * The default reduction parameter is delta=3/4, which means
 * that the squared length of the first non-zero basis vector
 * is no more than 2^{r-1} times that of the shortest vector in
 * the lattice.
 *
 * @note: uses NTL or FLINT
