TreatAsPoly( obj )
TreatAsPoly adapts the codewords in obj to make sure they are printed
as polynomials. obj may be a codeword or a list of codewords. Elements
of obj that are not codewords are ignored. After this function is
called, the codewords will be treated as polynomials. The finite field
vector that defines the codeword is used as a coefficient list of the
polynomial representation, where the first element of the vector is the
coefficient of degree zero, the second element is the coefficient of
degree one, etc, until the last element, which is the coefficient of
highest degree.
Note that this only changes the way a codeword is printed. TreatAsPoly
returns nothing, it is called only for its side effect. The function
PolyCodeword converts codewords to polynomials (see PolyCodeword).
