Comment (by darij):
Is there an established class for bilinear forms (not necessarily
symmetric!) on free modules? I'd need one to get anywhere towards the
Clifford-exterior iso.
The `scalar` function as it stands is rather useless, since on the
exterior algebra it just returns the product of the constant coefficients
of `self` and `other`. What should be made (I can do that) is the lift of
a bilinear (not quadratic) form on `V` to the exterior algebra of `V`
(using the Gram matrix). But that requires bilinear forms, too, so I'd
love to hear whether they exist before doing any changes.
