Comment (by darij):
Will be a matrix then.
Yeah, I'm not going to deprecate your Weyl algebra; I *might* end up
renaming it, though. Thing is, the Weyl algebra of an antisymmetric
bilinear form is the most correct analogue of the Clifford algebra known
to me (there might be better ones, though) -- far closer than the Weyl
algebra of a polynomial ring (which is just the Weyl algebra of the usual
antisymmetric form which is
{{{
0 1
-1 0
}}}
as a block matrix.
