_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n_:

     Convert a polynomial to monic form by dividing by the
     leading coefficient.

_U_s_a_g_e_:

     monic(p)

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s_:

       p: A polynomial.  A warning is issued if the polyno-
          mial is identically zero.

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s_:

     Similar in effect to `p/as.numeric(p[length(p)])' but
     with some safeguards against leading zero coefficients.

_V_a_l_u_e_:

     A polynomial proportional to `p' with leading coeffi-
     cient 1.

_S_e_e _A_l_s_o_:

     `change.origin'
