  | ### 7.3.19 oppose `Syntax:` `oppose (` ring_name, name `)` `Type:` poly, vector, ideal, module or matrix (the same type as the second argument) `Purpose:` for a given object in the given ring, creates its opposite object in the opposite ( opposite) ring (the last one is assumed to be the current ring). `Remark:` for any object .
