That's the only part where I don't follow.  I'd interpret "lowest order" as
"element of lowest degree in %".  I don't see why the order in % has to be the
one from Expon.  I know that we inherit from AMR(Coef, Expon), but does this
imply that the order of monomials has to be the same?

If so, would it make sense to change the order in IndexedExponents?
