GateSystem -- a system of functions evaluated via a straightline program

Description

An object of this type is a system of functions evaluated via an SLP that is constructed using the tools of package SLPexpressions.

An object of this type (constructed with gateSystem) is a System of functions represented via a GateMatrix. In particular, polynomial systems and systems of rational functions can be represented this way.

Unlike PolySystem, the functions of a GateSystem do not belong to a ring and can be evaluated on Numbers and RingElements as long as the constants in the evaluation circuits can be promoted to the corresponding Rings.
