Trailing coefficient degree of a polynomial : tcoeff

tcoeff takes as argument a polynomial given by a symbolic expression or by the list of its coefficients.
tcoeff returns the coefficient of the monomial of lowest degree of this polynomial (tcoeff=trailing coefficient).
Input :
tcoeff([2,1,-1,0])
Output :
-1
Input :
tcoeff(3*x^2+5*x,x)
Output :
5
Input :
tcoeff(3*x^2+5*x*y^2,y)
Output :
3*x^2
