_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

       x: a numeric vector at which to evaluate the polyno-
          mial

  degree: the degree of the polynomial

_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     Returns orthogonal polynomials of degree 1 to `degree'
     over the specified set of points `x'. These are all
     orthogonal to the constant polynomial of degree 0.

_V_a_l_u_e:

     A matrix with rows corresponding to points in `x' and
     columns corresponding to the degree, with attribute
     `"degree"' specifying the degrees of the columns.
