---------------------------+------------------------------------------------
Implements support for differential forms to Sage. After applying the
patch, three new classes are added to sage:
1. `CoordinatePatch` -- an open subset of Rn on which differential forms
can be defined
1. `DifferentialForms` -- a differential forms parent
1. `DifferentialForm` -- a differential forms class.
Please see the documentation in the `DifferentialForm` class for more
information about syntax, available methods, etc.
This is a very basic implementation, providing support for exterior
differentiation and wedge products of forms, but not much more. The
emphasis is on making sure that the framework is implemented correctly.
