describe(CellComplex) -- Describes a cell complex or cell

Description

Unlike net(CellComplex) this version ignores the name from GlobalAssignHook. Consequently, this method returns a short description of the cell complex regardless of if it has been assigned to a global variable.

i1 : R = QQ[x,y];
 
i2 : v1 = newSimplexCell({},x);
 
i3 : v2 = newSimplexCell({},y);
 
i4 : e1 = newSimplexCell({v1,v2},x);
 
i5 : e2 = newSimplexCell({v1,v2},y);
 
i6 : f = newCell({(e1,1),(e2,-1)},x*y);
 
i7 : describe cellComplex(R,{f})

o7 = Cell complex over (QQ[x..y, Degrees => {2:1}, Heft => {1}]) of dimension 2 with 5 total cells
 
i8 : X = cellComplex(R,{f});
 
i9 : describe X

o9 = Cell complex over (QQ[x..y, Degrees => {2:1}, Heft => {1}]) of dimension 2 with 5 total cells
