Description

There is an incompatibility between the names in CoCoALib and in CoCoA-5 for the pseudo-ctors for matrices for ordering. In CoCoALib the names begin with the prefix Mat whereas in CoCoA-5 they end with the suffix Mat.

Should we resolve this incompatibility? How?

JAA thinks that names such as StdDegRevLexMat read more easily than MatStdDegRevLex, but the names MatXYZ all appear near to each other in alphabetical ordering.

JAA also observes that the fn ElimMat is called this way in both CoCoALib and CoCoA-5 (and hopefully it does the same thing in both contexts).

Comments? Opinions? Ideas?

After skype with Anna: we prefer the nicer sounding names.
So I'll change the names in CoCoALib so that Mat is a suffix.

I have renamed the fns and changed all calls -- well, everything compiles.
Will check doc, then check-in.
