Results about the grading structure of the exterior algebra

Many of these results are copied with minimal modification from the tensor algebra.

The main result is ExteriorAlgebra.gradedAlgebra, which says that the exterior algebra is a ℕ-graded algebra.

def ExteriorAlgebra.GradedAlgebra.ι (R : Type u_1) (M : Type u_2) [CommRing R] [AddCommGroup M] [Module R M] : M →ₗ[R] DirectSum ℕ fun (i : ℕ) => ↥(⋀[R]^i M)

A version of ExteriorAlgebra.ι that maps directly into the graded structure. This is primarily an auxiliary construction used to provide ExteriorAlgebra.gradedAlgebra.

The exterior algebra is graded by the powers of the submodule (ExteriorAlgebra.ι R).range.
