newRing -- make a copy of a ring, with some features changed

Synopsis

Description

If a different number of variables is given with Variables, then the list of degrees in R will be ignored. If a new degree rank is specified with DegreeRank then the list of degrees and the heft vector of R will be ignored. If a new nonempty list of degrees is specified with Degrees, then the degree rank and the heft vector of R will be ignored.
