coerce,vectorize!

$\begin{usage} v::\%\\ vectorize! v\\ vectorize!(v)(p) \end{usage}$

$\begin{signatures} coerce: & \htmlref{\texttt{Vector}}{Vector} R $\to$\ \%\\ ... ...or} R $\to$\ \% $\to$\ \htmlref{\texttt{Vector}}{Vector} R\\\end{signatures}$

$\begin{params} {\em p} & \% & A polynomial\\ {\em v} & \htmlref{\texttt{Vector}}{Vector} R & A coefficient vector\\\end{params}$

$\begin{descr} $[v_1,\dots,v_n]$::\% returns the polynomial $\sum_{i=0}^{n-1} v_... ..._j P_j)$\ fills $v$\ with $[a_0,\dots,a_d,0,\dots]$and returns $v$. \end{descr}$

$\begin{remarks} If $d > \char93 v - 1$, then the high coefficients of $p$\ are simply ignored. \end{remarks}$
