Description
Hi,
I am trying to write a polynomial ring with both symmetric and skew-symmetric variables. So I wrote this
```m2
L=RR[x1,x2,e1,e2, Inverses=>true, MonomialOrder=>Lex]/(e1*e2+e2*e1)
```
Now how can I write the inverse of for example x_1? I want to define a map like (e_1x_1^{-1}e_2)^{-1}.

Research direction
Start with the ring declaration and the Inverses=>true option shown in the issue, then inspect how Macaulay2 represents inverses in rings with the stated skew-symmetry relation. Done would require a confirmed approach for the requested inverse expression, with any necessary behavior documented and tested.
