Division by increasing power order : divpc

divpc takes three arguments : two polynomials expressions AB depending on x, such that the constant term of B is not 0, and an integer n.
divpc returns the quotient Q of the division of A by B by increasing power order, with degree(Q) $ \leq$ n or Q = 0. In other words, Q is the Taylor expansion at order n of $\displaystyle {\frac{{A}}{{B}}}$ in the vicinity of x = 0.
Input :
divpc(1+x^2+x^3,1+x^2,5)
Output :
-x^5+x^3+1
Note that this command does not work on polynomials written as list of coefficients.
