witt index of quadratic form

An important invariant of quadratic forms (V,q) over a field is the Witt index, the dimension of a maximal isotropic subspace of V.

Is Sage able to calculate this? I have checked http://doc.sagemath.org/html/en/reference/quadratic_forms/sage/quadratic_forms/quadratic_form.html and there does not seem to be anything there to help me (but I may have overlooked it).
