The integer object method "valuation" computes the p-Adic valuation, but the polynomial object method "valuation" computes a different sort of valuation. It seems to me that they could be more analogous, but maybe there's something I'm not seeing.
I also don't really think that valuation is the best term to use for the integer method. I think it would be better named "ord", but I don't know if that term is quite common enough. I also think that this concept applies identically to the polynomial ring and could be implemented in the exact same way.
