Hi Florent,
I think the polynomial ring model should translate well
to the non-commutative free algebras. In addition to
access, specifying a (non-commutative) monomial
ordering would be desirable. Generalizing these
orderings is the only challenge in the generalization
from free commutative al

naming convention. It seems to me that we should stick as close as possible to
polynomials:
