Figure out the multivector interface #10

Multivector operations:

creation
arithmetic ops (plus, product, &c.)
display

The first two are easyish.

For display, the sane interface seems to be a list of terms with coefficient, normalized coefficient, sign and list of bases. (This is also close to the current implementation, which is why I've never bothered to specify it.)

Display: toString and outputFormat.

Arithmetic ops: plus, minus, neg, ...

Creation:

e for creating unit base vectors
s for creating scalars
v for creating vectors
