HodgeStar -- The Hodge star in an exterior algebra

Description

The Hodge star works like this:

i1 : ea = exteriorExtension(3, 6, e, QQ);
i2 : ea.HodgeStar(first ea.bases#1)

o2 = e e e
      3 4 5

o2 : QQ[e ..e ]
         0   5

This is the exterior algebra. HodgeStar of a module is the Hodge dual.

For the programmer

The object HodgeStar is a symbol.
