The value of <code>current_variables</code> is the

<p>If you have checked overlapping simplifications in <code>dot_simplifications</code>

making sure that you have sufficient simplification rules in each

up if you know before hand what the dimension of the space of monomials is.
If it is of finite global dimension, then <code>hilbert</code> should be used.  If you
don't know the monomial dimensions, do not specify a <code>rank_function</code>.
An optional third argument <code>reset</code>, <code>false</code> says don't bother to query
about resetting things.
