complex(Complex) -- make a complex by reindexing the terms of the complex

Function: complex
Usage:

D = complex(C, Base => i)
Inputs:
- C, a complex,
Optional inputs:
- Base (missing documentation) => an integer, default value 0, the target of the lowest differential
Outputs:
- D, a complex, where if $d$ is the smallest index of the target of the differentials of C, then for all integers $j$ we have $D_{i+j} = C_{d+j}$

Description

This returns an alteration of the input complex, reindexing the terms of the complex.

Rather than specifying the homological degree of the lowest target, one can also shift the homological degree, which may simultaneously negate the maps.
