baseMap(WittRingMap) -- Returns the underlying RingMap of a WittRingMap

Description

Given a WittRingMap $W(f): W_n(R) \to W_n(S)$ induced by f:R-> S, this returns the underlying RingMap f: R->S.

i1 : R = (ZZ/5)[x,y];
i2 : S = (ZZ/5)[a,b,c,d];
i3 : f = map(S, R, {a*b, c*d});

o3 : RingMap S <-- R
i4 : Wf = witt(2, f);
i5 : f === baseMap Wf

o5 = true
