Dear developers and community in general.

So far, there is a tutorial about the use of differential forms within cadabra, but there is no manual for their related properties.

I've like to know whether it is possible to define forms on a space (or subspace).

Example of desired behaviour

{a,b,c}::Indices(space); 
{e^{a}, \omega^{a}_{b}}::DifferentialForm(degree=1, space);

or possibly something like

{a,b,c}::Indices.
{x,y}::Coordinate(space); 
{e^{a}, \omega^{a}_{b}}::DifferentialForm(degree=1, space);

to denote that $$e^a = e^a_x dx + e^a_y dy,$$ despite the possible values of the indices.

Question

Is something like this implemented?
