Description
Is there a fast (i.e. implemented in the engine) routine for the following? (or its transpose)
```m2
exponentMatrix = B -> transpose matrix apply(numcols B, c -> first exponents B_(0,c))
-- example:
i17 : exponentMatrix basis(3, kk[x,y,z])
o17 = | 3 2 2 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 |
| 0 1 0 2 1 0 3 2 1 0 |
| 0 0 1 0 1 2 0 1 2 3 |
3 10
o17 : Matrix ZZ <-- ZZ
```
The one liner above obviously works, but when `B` is a matrix of basis monomials with tens thousands of columns, it gets quite slow (e.g. the basis itself takes a couple of seconds but computing the exponent matrix takes a minute!!)

Research direction
Start by locating the engine implementation behind basis and monomial exponent extraction. Compare the existing one-line matrix operation with the requested routine or its transpose, using the issue's example as a correctness check. Done means an implemented routine produces the same exponent matrix and avoids the reported slowdown on bases with tens of thousands of columns.
