Comment (by jdemeyer):

 Replying to [comment:29 pbruin]:
 > Similarly, in PARI, my experience is that `Vecrev` (which does the
 equivalent of `list` above) is more useful than `Vec` to extract the list
 of coefficients of a polynomial.

 I think you are totally misunderstanding me. This is not at all about in
 ''which order'' the monomials are extracted. Obviously, PARI's `Vecrev()`
 is the right thing, I'm not arguing against that.

 It's about
 {{{
 9*x^9 + 8*x^8 + 7*x^7 + 6*x^6 + 5*x^5 + 4*x^4 + 3*x^3 + 2*x^2
 }}}
 versus
 {{{
 9*x^7 + 8*x^6 + 7*x^5 + 6*x^4 + 5*x^3 + 4*x^2 + 3*x + 2
 }}}
