-
The order in 'FreeAbelianGroup' is broken and makes the domain unusable
(e.g., comparison of Set 'FreeAbelianGroup S' does not work properly)
For example here is a cycle::

  ----------------------------------------
  Z2:=FreeAbelianGroup Symbol         

  a:= a::FreeAbelianGroup Symbol         
  b:= b::FreeAbelianGroup Symbol
  z:= 0::FreeAbelianGroup Symbol

  a < -b 
  -b < z
  z < a
  ----------------------------------------

thus $a < -b < z < a$

\begin{axiom}
a:= a::FreeAbelianGroup Symbol         
b:= b::FreeAbelianGroup Symbol
z:= 0::FreeAbelianGroup Symbol

(a < -b)::Boolean 
(-b < z)::Boolean
(z < a)::Boolean
\end{axiom}

proposed patch in the last few lines of free.spad::

  545,546c545,546
  <         ta.gen < tb.gen => true
  <         ta.gen > tb.gen => false
  ---
  >         ta.gen < tb.gen => tb.exp > 0
  >         ta.gen > tb.gen => ta.exp < 0

apparently revlex order is intended but is not achieved in the current implementation,
as the sign of the trailing exponent is not taken into account.
