Overview:
We implement a class divisor on an algebraic variety and methods for computing with them. Divisors are represented by tuples of ideals defining the positive and the negative part. In particular, we implement the group structure on divisors, computing global sections and testing linear equivalence.

In addition to this we provide a class formaldivisor which implements integer formal sums of divisors (not necessarily prime). A formal divisor can be evaluated to a divisor, and a divisor can be decomposed into a formal sum.

Finally we provide a class pdivisor which implements polyhedral formal sums of divisors (P-divisors) where the coefficients are assumed to be polyhedra with fixed tail cone. There is a function to evaluate a P-divisor on a vector in the dual of the tail cone. The result will be a formal divisor.

References:
For the class divisor we closely follow Macaulay2's tutorial on divisors.
