appendage -- a placeholder for the object (exterior algebra) added on to the Lie algebra by exteriorExtension

Description

Exporting this symbol gives the ring a name that the user can see when, for instance, matrices are constructed between modules over this ring

i1 : extensionAlg = exteriorExtension(3, 6, e, QQ);
i2 : gens extensionAlg.appendage

o2 = {e , e , e , e , e , e }
       0   1   2   3   4   5

o2 : List
i3 : e_0*e_1

o3 = e e
      0 1

o3 : QQ[e ..e ]
         0   5

This is the exterior algebra.
