The symplectic isotropic flag matrix subgroup #
The self-dual basis order fixes the isotropic half and reverses its dual half.
The subgroup of symplectic matrices upper triangular in this order has an upper-triangular
upper-left block, a lower-triangular lower-right block, and a zero lower-left block.
It is solvable over every commutative ring, by its inclusion in the upper-triangular general
linear group. Its representing Hopf algebra is constructed in
TauCeti.Algebra.AlgebraicGroup.Symplectic.IsotropicFlag.Basic.

The isotropic half of the basis keeps its standard order.
Flag order preserves comparisons within the isotropic half.
Every isotropic basis index precedes every dual basis index in flag order.
No dual basis index precedes an isotropic basis index in flag order.
The self-dual flag-order permutation is its own inverse.
The subgroup of symplectic matrices that become upper triangular after reindexing by
flagOrder m. Its paired-block form is recorded in mem_matrixSubgroup_iff.

Membership in the flag subgroup is entrywise vanishing below the diagonal in flag order.
In paired coordinates, the flag subgroup consists of matrices whose upper-left block is upper triangular, whose lower-right block is lower triangular, and whose lower-left block vanishes.
The underlying symplectic matrix of coefficient change is the ambient coefficient map.
