## Return a diagonal quaternion matrix with quaternion vector V on diagonal K.
## The second argument is optional. If it is positive,
## the vector is placed on the K-th super-diagonal.
## If it is negative, it is placed on the -K-th sub-diagonal.
## The default value of K is 0, and the vector is placed
## on the main diagonal.
