Hi Robert,
Sorry for hopping so late in the discussion. I am not sure how I
understand how left vs right actions are handled.
In a*b, are you always making the assumption that a is acting on b?
If I have an algebra B (whose code I don't want to touch), and implement a
right B-module A,
am I supposed to implement:
a.act_on(b)?
Or will a*b try all of:
b.act_on(a, False)
b.acted_upon(a, False)
a.act_on(b, True)
a.acted_upon(b, True)
