Description

It doesn't seem like these methods should be synonyms. The method `minimalPrimes` (whose input is an `Ideal` or `MonomialIdeal` _J_) gives all minimal primes _p_ for which a primary ideal in the primary decomposition of _J_ is _p_-primary, and this list isn't actually a decomposition of _J_.
