exteriorPower(ZZ,Module) -- exterior power of a module

Description

i1 : M = ZZ^5

       5
o1 = ZZ

o1 : ZZ-module, free
i2 : exteriorPower(3,M)

       10
o2 = ZZ

o2 : ZZ-module, free
When i is 1, then the result is equal to M. When M is not a free module, then the generators used for the result will be wedges of the generators of M. In other words, the modules cover exteriorPower(i,M) and exteriorPower(i,cover M) will be equal.
