Some sort of lexicographic order will do the job, but the "usual"
ordering of the variables, i.e., x > y > z,
will not work.
So, we have to permute the ordering of the variables somehow.
Given that we want the remainder to be a polynomial in x
alone, which variable has to be last in our revised
ordering??
