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. 

Any comments?
