Help: mspetersson(M, {F}, {G=F}): M being a full modular symbol space,
 as given by msinit, calculate the intersection product {F,G} of modular
 symbols F and G on M.
Doc: $M$ being a full modular symbol space for $\Gamma = \Gamma_0(N)$,
 as given by \kbd{msinit},
 calculate the intersection product $\{F, G\}$ of modular symbols $F$ and $G$
 on $M=\Hom_{\Gamma}(\Delta_0, V_k)$ extended to an hermitian bilinear
 form on $M \otimes \C$ whose radical is the Eisenstein subspace of $M$.

 Suppose that $f_1$ and $f_2$ are two parabolic forms. Let $F_1$
 and $F_2$ be the attached modular symbols
 $$ F_i(\delta)= \int_{\delta} f_i(z) \cdot (z X + Y)^{k-2} \,dz$$
 and let $F^{\R}_1$, $F^{\R}_2$ be the attached real modular symbols
 $$ F^{\R}_i(\delta)= \int_{\delta}
    \Re\big(f_i(z) \cdot (z X + Y)^{k-2} \,dz\big) $$
 Then we have
 $$
 \{ F^{\R}_1, F^{\R}_2 \} = -2 (2i)^{k-2} \cdot
    \Im(<f_1,f_2>_{\var{Petersson}}) $$
 and
 $$\{ F_1, \bar{F_2} \} = (2i)^{k-2} <f_1,f_2>_{\var{Petersson}}$$
 In weight 2, the intersection product $\{F, G\}$ has integer values on the
 $\Z$-structure on $M$ given by \kbd{mslattice} and defines a Riemann form on
 $H^1_{par}(\Gamma,\R)$.

 For user convenience, we allow $F$ and $G$ to be matrices and return the
 attached Gram matrix. If $F$ is omitted: treat it as the full modular space
 attached to $M$; if $G$ is omitted, take it equal to $F$.
