Syntax:

Purpose:
  returns the maximum for any arguments of a type

Example:

      // biggest int
    max(2,3);
    ==> 3
    max(1,4,3);
    ==> 4
    // lexicographically biggest intvec
    max(intvec(1,2),intvec(0,1),intvec(1,1));
    ==> 1,2
    // polynopmial with biggest leading monomial
    ring r = 0,x,dp;
    max(x+1,x2+x);
