Comment (by darij):

 Great job! Two things, though:

 - I suggest replacing the doc of `_Key` by something more readable:
 {{{
     Helper class to serve as a key for comparing elements of the
     lattice.

     The change-of-basis morphisms between the bases of the
     :class:`MoebiusAlgebra` are triangular with respect to the partial
     order of the poset. Since this partial order might not agree with
     the standard comparison function ``cmp``, we need a wrapper around
     the elements of the lattice which ensures that calling ``cmp`` on
     them (when wrapped) actually compares them using the lattice's
     partial order. This helper class is precisely that.
 }}}
 (You probably can do better.)

 - Do we know that whatever the `module_morphism` infrastructure does to
 `key` allows `key` to live in a poset? I see `leading_item` being called
 in
 
https://github.com/sagemath/sage/blob/develop/src/sage/modules/with_basis/morphism.py
 ; what does this return when there are several maximal items?
