// <synopsis>
// A Polynomial<T> contains a set of coefficients; its fundamental operations
// is evaluating itself at some "x". The number of coefficients is the order
// of the polynomial plus one, so is the number of available parameters.
//
// <note role=tip>
// The present implementation merely stores the coefficients in a Block. In the
// unlikely case that we need to deal with polynomials with many zero
// coefficients, a more efficient representation would be possible.
// </note>
// </synopsis>
//
// <example>
// <srcblock>
//  Polynomial<Float> pf(3); // Third order polynomial - coeffs 0 by default
//  pf.setCoefficient(1, 1.0);
//  pf[2] = 2.0;
//  pf.setCoefficient(3, 3.0);  // 3x^3 + 2x^2 + x
//  pf(2); // == 34
// </srcblock>
// </example>
 
// <templating arg=T>
//  <li> T should have standard numerical operators. Current
//  implementation only tested for real types (and their AutoDiffs).
// </templating>
 
// <thrown>
//    <li> Assertion in debug mode if attempt is made to address incorrect
//      coefficients
// </thrown>
 
// <todo asof="1995/08/25">
//   <li> Global functions to make various ``special'' polynomials of various
//   orders will be useful eventually.
// </todo>
