Oh, yes... and I guess that's been a concern of yours all through this thread.
If I understand the wikipedia treatment correctly, this is an
ambiguity where different authors treat polynomial degree differently.
And, I guess, negative infinity for the degree of zero polynomials
would require a different implementation:
pdegree=: {{(<:%*) +/ +./\. 0 ~: y}}
pdegree 1 2 1
2
pdegree 5
0
pdegree 0

...
