Standard part function #
Given a finite element in a non-archimedean field, the standard part function rounds it to the unique closest real number. That is, it chops off any infinitesimals.
Let K be a linearly ordered field. The subset of finite elements (i.e. those bounded by a natural
number) is a ValuationSubring, which means we can construct its residue field
FiniteResidueField, roughly corresponding to the finite elements quotiented by infinitesimals.
This field inherits a LinearOrder instance, which makes it into an Archimedean linearly ordered
field, meaning we can uniquely embed it in the reals.
Given a finite element of the field, the ArchimedeanClass.stdPart function returns the real number
corresponding to this unique embedding. This function generalizes, among other things, the standard
part function on Hyperreal.
TODO #
Redefine Hyperreal.st in terms of ArchimedeanClass.stdPart.

Standard part #
The standard part of a FiniteElement is the unique real number with an infinitesimal
difference.
For any infinite inputs, this function outputs a junk value of 0.
